    Yeah, but surveillance is also high on the fascist agenda, so you’d think a company pitching privacy would be more concerned about approving of anything they do.

      Surveillance is different than suppression. Yes, they usually go hand-in-hand, but the issue everyone was up in arms about is the censorship part, by the surveillance part.

      He didn’t say Trump has good policies on surveillance. The two corporate parties in the US are terrible on privacy.

        He said the tables had completely turned, that the Reps were now supporting the small guy. It’s idiotic at best, dishonest at worst, to assume that such praise will change anything about the fact that the incoming US regime will seek to undermine Proton’s stated objective and prime selling point. Even if they somehow followed through on those antitrust expectations, I have no doubt it would double back into serving corporate dragons in the end.
