People on Lemmy are suffering from a serious case of BEC and this thread is clear evidence of this guy being a target of it
I really don’t get why people follow this community just to shit on proton in every thread.
Bitch eating crackers?
as in ‘look at this bitch eating crackers like he owns the place’. someone you don’t like does something harmless, but you’d criticize him no matter what he does.
“This revision attempts to implement something that has been deemed illegal in the EU and the United States,” Yen claimed
What is he talking about? US and EU to some extent do store and track user data.
And don’t the big names have a surveillance pact to share each others data?
The Swiss were not a part of that. After this, who knows, the United States would love to poke into the private lives of people who use Proton.

Why don’t you explain to this privacy focused community why backdooring encryption and VPNs is a good thing.
He’s talking about a different Thing.
Trump appointed a Person that was heavily anti-big-tech. The Proton CEO congratulated him on this Choice, saying something along the Lines, I’m paraphrasing here, “this anti-big-tech guy is a big Win for the simple Man. 10 years ago, the Democrats were the ones who would have been the ones for the simple Man. now it is the Republicans. Congrats on your good Choice”.
This comment was meant purely in the Context of this Appointment and not as an Endorsement of the wider Trump Government or its Actions but has been misinterpreted as such by a lot of People.
This is probably what the OP meant.

You buffoon.

corporation trying to control the situation is textbook fascism.
Explain how please. I honestly don’t get it.

This turd is arguing against privacy invasive laws though.
You can dislike him but the message here is very clear.

It’s a very good comparison, you absolute twatwaffle. Russia has the exact same law in the books.
Idk what the fuck your problem is, but you’re obviously a dumbass who doesn’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.
This wildly irresponsible and ignorant reactionary bullshit wins you a block. Dont need you showing up in any threads from here out…

There are some good signals for now and it is unlikely this will pass:
The Federal Council has collected feedback on the planned revision of the Ordinance on the Surveillance of Postal and Telecommunications Traffic. There was hardly any positive feedback.
The Federal Council’s plans to revise the Ordinance on the Surveillance of Postal and Telecommunications Traffic (Vüpf) have failed the consultation process: All major parties and numerous associations clearly rejected the plan.

Such a unified opinion across all parties in Switzerland is rare. This topic has also made the rounds in swiss medias recently with a big echo, it is fought by many swiss organisations and companies and as example Proton will leave Switzerland if it were to somehow pass anyway: https://www.techradar.com/vpn/vpn-privacy-security/we-would-be-less-confidential-than-google-proton-threatens-to-quit-switzerland-over-new-surveillance-law
