Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new “king”
Update: position got backed up by an official Proton post on Mastodon, it’s an official Proton statement now. https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503
Update 2, plot-twist: they removed this response from Mastodon - seems they realize it exploded into their face!
Antitrust in tech is Nazism?.. I get the joke but, what…
If a Nazi sits at a table with ten other people and everyone is talking cordially, you’ve got a table of 11 Nazis.
This mother fucker saw a Nazi and said “HEY BRO SIT OVER HERE.”
It’s not a joke.
To me this is complete nonsense.
It’s absolutely possible to disagree with 99% of what a government does and still agree on a 1%, by coincidence or something. This doesn’t mean “sitting at the table” in any way, which I think would be an overall endorsement. If that 1% would be use to fully endorse the government then it would implicitly mean the support (or at least passivity) towards the rest 99%. This is not the case.
Let’s talk hypotheticals for a moment: let’s sat Trump will actually do something and break up tech monopolies, google for example, or decrease their power and create a fairer market. In this case, saying “good policy” would make you a Nazi? For me, this is simply absurd, and it is very very similar to what is happening.
