Bring popcorn, this is a developing story… 🍿(Happening rn on Threads)

@hyperreal @lea @marialeal @asm @woe2you you do realize that, as long as you use proton's webclient from proton dot me, they can just simply ship whatever code they want to you, with no good tooling on your end to audit that they are not sending a "tailored" version specifically to you, which will hand over your keys / mails / whatever you're seeing?

[asm@is.beeping.pet]

@hyperreal @lea @marialeal @woe2you they've literally been openly praising fascists, can't get any clearer than that

[hyperreal@tilde.zone]

@asm @lea @marialeal @woe2you Do you have a link to where they do this? You can get clearer, if you show me the evidence.

@hyperreal @lea @marialeal @woe2you since it's originally a Twitter post, here:

@SharpCheddarGoblin @asm @lea @woe2you @marialeal I mean, I think I'm pretty aware of what's going on in privacy topics, but I haven't heard of Proton AG openly praising fascists. If you can show me where, I'd have no argument then.

@elexia @makesubarugayagain @marialeal ben affleck maybe ?

[elexia@catcatnya.com]

@martouf @makesubarugayagain @marialeal yeah

[makesubarugayagain@weird.autos]

@elexia @marialeal sorry ben affleck, the last movie i saw in theaters was sorry to bother you.

[darkwiiplayer@tech.lgbt]

@marialeal This would be popcorn-worthy if firefox was a serious web browser.

[darkwiiplayer@tech.lgbt]

@woe2you Blame mozilla. They're the ones refusing to build the only remaining competitor into an actual competitor.

[coldkennels@mastodon.social]

@hearts @lea @asm @marialeal don't forget the bloat. Dear lord, *the bloat*.

[darkwiiplayer@tech.lgbt]

@asm no amount of configuration is going to fix missing and/or broken engine features

[hyperreal@tilde.zone]

@asm @lea @marialeal @woe2you I can't argue with that, and I was already aware of that Twitter post, but you made it sound like it was a general pattern of behavior among Proton employees. I don't know what else Andy Yen has posted in praise of fascists, but I don't think it's fair to act like he's tantamount to the likes of DHH.

But, I accept your original point. Fair enough.

@makesubarugayagain @elexia @marialeal caption with Damon was more fitting with the OP and thread...

[bafs@social.vivaldi.net]

@lea @marialeal @hyperreal @asm @woe2you Proton is NOT a fascist company. The tweet in question was written by the CEO, and it was about Gail Slater. She is focused on antitrust, which is unrelated to fascism, it's a good thing. The CEO never praised Trump's politic in general. There is an absolute lack of nuance.

@marialeal to be fair to firefox, this is not that unique of a statement..?

[hyperreal@tilde.zone]

@BafS It can be argued that, as Slater is a Trump-appointed advisor, and affiliated with the Republican party and Fox Corporation, that she has effectively cooperated with fascists. Her track record on anti-trust speaks for itself. I don't know the extent to which she has influenced the Trump admin for the greater good or if she was just another lackey. Apparently she resigned from her position recently.

@marialeal

All they had to do to show good faith was switch this to off by default, like their community asked times and times again...
