The article states that Proton plans to move certain (AI) data centers to Germany and Norway, as they seemed those the most sensitive. I can imagine if these laws/policies are enacted, they would look to move all services.
I think the reason is not sensitivity, but that it’s less risky to move a very new, niche service if they fuck it up somehow. as I understood their announcement they may move other services too later on
Well, Proton can move wherever they want and be as good as they what, I’ll never be a customer again because of what their fuckhead CEO Andy Yen said.
I don’t care that he’s backpedaled, I don’t care that Andy Yen isn’t Proton-the-company, and I’m even willing to accept it was a very unfortunate duh moment on his part. Here the thing: I don’t have many ways as a nobody to get back at Trump, but one way is to not give any of my money to anybody who enabled him, even by mistake.
So Proton is on my shitlist forever thanks to Yen.
Lmao this would be a great bit if you weren’t serious.
Is this what Trump Derangement Syndrome looks like?
Fucking Fascists.
Online poster voting with his money got this bootlicker bent out of shape
“Free market” goes all ways, even when it hurts the feelings of fascists ¯\(ツ)/¯ maybe one day they’ll understand lol
They’ll never understand anything. They’ll plead ignorance in 10 years if we still have things like courts by then
I’m fascism-intolerant. Different disease, but one I’m proud to suffer from.
Yeah sure, I was just speaking to your statement regarding privacy laws. Yen’s statement (and beliefs) are an extremely unfortunate inconvenience.
