Yeah the weaponizing of COVID against our own citizens was beyond insane. I remember someone threatening to kill me on Facebook because I said use precautions and be safe.

The fact that a bunch of people he pardoned went on to commit felonies kind of says everything.

Way more. Prices have doubled for many products. Produce where I live is three dollars a pound minimum.

Not surprised, but sorry you had to deal with a person like that.

You are correct that is where this is heading. They want kids to learn everything they know from AI.

The guy is probably the second most litigious man in existence and the number one guy is one of those Guinness record types.

Trump has been in thousands of lawsuits in his lifetime. No one seems to understand how ridiculous this is.

True. Also, parking on a driveway and driving on a parkway.

Yes, you are totally right. I would like to add that the rule of law, when it comes to money, has been broken from the foundation of the US.

You are absolutely hoping for a sane future.

With Grok HomeTruth AI, kids will be tasked with tough questions like was the Holocaust even real?

The system failed as it so often does. This failure was perhaps novel for the sheer amount of corruption it took, but hardly unprecedented.

Wow, someone is paying attention!

Lol, the guy who thinks he knows how to criticize the US. Reminds me of myself 30 years ago. I said I agreed with your sentiment, not your logic.

Your all over the place that is for sure. More whataboutism than a russian and also a corporate bootlicker to boot (pun intended). The way you blame people for shit they have nothing to do with is also bizarre.

You also totally won whatever the hell you think this was. Cheers!

Edit: I would be remiss not to mention I do generally agree with your sentiment.

The fact that you drive to Seaworld should tell you all you need to know.

Here come the excuses. Time to move the goalpost again Cripty.

I remember years ago when I explained how the Proton business model was basically “We follow Swiss Law” and how stupid that is because literally every company operating in Switzerland has to do this.

I brought up the fact that they will have to follow government requests by law, and because they are small they won’t be able to push back. Produmb users denied this saying they would never give in to government requests. I laughed and still do about the naiveness you seem to all share.

Unlike you I do genuinely feel sorry for you because you have been duped. You believe without evidence that they are different. This corporation is just like all the others. Their saber rattling threatening to leave trying to influence the government is textbook corporatism.

I find your argument against the US very telling. You are clearly butthurt and want to blame everyone else for your shitty decision to defend a corporation that does not give a single fuck about you.

Sorry that you hate people from the US. Next time just be honest that you are just a xenophobic asshole and save us all the time.

Google, Microsoft, Apple, IBM, etc have all refused court orders and no one went to prison. Your suggestion that Proton’s administration would be immediately held criminally responsible and locked up without a trial is extremely fucking bizarre.

You are the worst kind of fanboi, one without any logic or common sense. A real bootlicker.

Translation: I won’t do my job

Companies balk at legal orders all the time.

Listen, you are just wrong at this point and you keep digging yourself deeper looking more and more ridiculous.

Do you own stock in Proton or something or are you just a subscriber? Because your relentless fanboyism gets old quick.

Originally the CEO said they would pack up and leave Switzerland if the government continued its course.

So apparently there is more than just one option.

Hey, I get it. When you put all your eggs in one basket you are committed. Personally I don’t commit to any corporation, especially ones that try to sell “privacy”.

It is called deception. All email providers in Switzerland have to follow Swiss Privacy laws.

This is no different than companies advertising licensed and bonded when every company legally has been licensed and bonded. Note that this practice of advertising what is required by law is actually illegal in a lot of places.

They sold a convenient lie and got rich doing so. Now we get to sit here on Lemmy and watch them try to justify another corporation shiting on them while they give them more money. The Proton defenders are a special kind of stupid.

Nice, this proton apologist knows what everyone would do in their position.

All these people relying on a private corporation for privacy have a serious screw loose.

Proton fully cooperates with all government requests. They are just another tech company selling “privacy” to make a buck. The only people who care are those foolish enough to give them their money.
