Stolen from @vmstan

More analysis from @wiredfire:

It’s nothing to do with [difficulties in using multiple platforms]. It’s to do with the massive backlash they got on Fedi for their CEO being all Trumpy and somewhat horrible right wing. So they’ve run away because they were made to feel unwelcome on account of us not letting their BS fly.

Original screenshot is of the bio of https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy and wasn’t a post (that confused me for a sec).

You know I was like this close to getting proton VPN before this whole thing started. I've been researching for like 6 months to decide which one I was going to switch to. They were on the short list. Bullet dodged.

    Ah yeah, located in Sweden, country known for the Pirates Bay scandal that may also soon introduce a law requiring apps to have backdoors to access user's data. Great choice.

    You owe it to yourself to research past the platitudes. Then you would know that they already got raided and the police left empty handed because there was nothing to find.

    Sweden is also at this moment preparing to pass legislation that will require backdoors into encrypted services.

    The government is preparing legislation, Parliament has yet to decide on it.

    Looking at other Western countries and their history of privacy invading surveillance laws, how likely do you think it is that Sweden won't pass it? Are you willing to bet your own money that they won't?

    I don't hade to look to other countries, Swedens track record for enacting this kind of legislation is quite bad. But the process is still transparent and even if new legislation pass it won't come into effect immediately. So taking actions at this stage is premature imo.
