Wait - so this is the CCP directly censoring a whole worldview from its citizens.

But I was told on several lemmy threads that the CCP lets their users consume any content, and all the censorship is American propaganda to make the great leader look bad.

Why is it a different product then? Does it allow the same content? Same algorithm?

Or is it different, and not an actual carbo copy?

Thank you.

I think I remember it was when Proton complied with Swiss subpoena and provided user account info requested by US. I clarified my nebulous comment in another thread here.

That makes sense, thank you. Clarified my nebulous comment a bit in another thread.

That all makes sense.

I did some digging to see what was that I had read, and I think it was a case a few years back of Proton complying with a Swiss subpoena requested by US, investigating death threats to Fauci. Proton disclosed (limited) information about the account that sent those emails.

I think because Proton promised complete privacy, and did provide user information, it ended in my brain as “Proton is not as private as they tout it to be”.

I am not advocating for protections of highly illegal acts, but since:

1. PGP encryption is only good if both ends use keys, and
2. Proton complies with Swiss law requests

I stored Proton in my “Marketing bullshit” cabinet and never opened an account. Other than not selling my info to advertisers, it seems the same as Apple email, for example.

I am not a security expert, but I remember reading Proton is not really secure?

Edit: expanded in comment below. I think what I remember is “Proton is not really any more “secure” than other email providers.”

Added to my Libby queue - I love our public library system

“Competition is for losers” lecture by Peter Thiel at Stanford lays out very clearly that none of these mfers actually wants competition once they dominate an industry.

Avatar…legs!! 😆

“There’s no way this mfer would have made it past 10yo a couple hundred years ago…” 😆

Totally misrepresented, you left out prayer

“None of us are free until all of us are free”

We see you.

I got you. You and I, brother - for a moment there it seemed anything was possible, but I guess the John Birch Society never went away.

Fair enough

If billionaires were protected as we protect children in schools, we’d literally run out billionaires in a month.

Corporate fascists need the muscle that the stormtroopers can provide in exchange for the loot they pillage.

That’s what we are seeing with the last 10-15 years resurgence of the alt-rights grift.

“No wars but class wars” as true today as when Trotsky said it many decades ago. Not sure how anyone cannot see this very, very clear fact, made self evident by the treatment of Luigi and the composition of the upcoming administration and its supporters.

But every other commoner that sees it needs to take according measures.

Culture is not our friend.

Re Ukraine - literally what Russia did, and will continue to do in every other place they can

This is the best case scenario, relying on their utter incompetence, although the will pillage state funds
