Please criticize the us government for this as hard as I have been criticizing China for locking it's citizens out of the world stage with their "great firewall".
Or don't, it's not like hypocrisy doesn't get enshrined and worshipped here lmfaoooo

This is all theatre, trump is going to "save it" after starting the initial push to ban it (for the wrong reasons) to pretend he did something for you. Worst part is that all of the no/low info voters and non voters will eat it up.
It's the equivalent of a person pushing you into the middle of the street and at the very last second, that same person tells the drivers to all stop. "Wow, I owe you my life!"
They're shutting down instead of blocking new downloads, seems like a stunt. But the blocking of new downloads is obviously happening if SCOTUS doesn't step in...that's the law. That's just what the law says.
The law prevents other American companies from hosting their infrastructure so they don't really have much to do other than shut down and offer the minimum required to off-board employees and contractors.
get a vpn (that isn't proton) now people cause it'll only get worse
And learn how to use it.
And get your FF fork loaded up with the right extensions to prevent fingerprinting.
Ugh, this world is so cooked, but we keep reaching out of the oven and turning up the heat on ourselves.
How come not proton? Did they get caught with their hands in the ~~cookie jar~~ traffic logs?
CEO honestly thinks Trump and the Republicans are going to go after tech monopolies. Either he's detached from reality or he's trying to keep them from coming after Proton by cooperating. Either way is not great.
and cozying up to american gov no matter who it is just gives me bad vibes that they would happily turn over anything they want when asked
this is the most succint way of verbalising my problems with the situation. i know ceo's largely sway R, i'm not surprised by andy's politic pov. but this tweet was openly eating trumps ass which gives me the ick. like bro you are a ceo i know youre a lying pos but now you're a liar and want to rim the nazis, your business is founded on trust how the fuck can i trust you?
Do it, just do it with no second thoughts. They can't, they will lose all their business.
Please and thank you!
