You mean they are providing organ donations more than any other car. Silver lining. /s

I can see why you think I might be exaggerating but at some point I checked the wikipedia page listing Houthi attacks on ships and spent a good amount of time checking each one more carefully.

Yep exactly. The US attacks on Yemen are just a continuation of a long American tradition of bombing the shit out of “lesser” nations.

“Put our troops in danger” while they bomb the shit out of Yemen.

It’s a bit rude to just respond to someone with an empty accusation, isn’t it? I’m sure you can come up with a better response and is useful to read and shows your point.

But aren’t you saying that some countries can be disinfranchized because they don’t abide by Western ideals and that some stronger nation can swoop in and colonize them and are right to do so?

You also expressed the opinion thta generalized Yemeni people (predominantly Muslim) and shows them to be culturally defective… but you provide no evidence except for them being Yemeni.

They have not been operating with honesty for some ships but as someone else pointed out, the majority had ties to the US and Israel. They’ve also been very clear about why they do this. I’m not saying they are admirable, but they are not that wrong.

I don’t think it’s bad to admit that they are generally doing something good while also committing bad mistakes.

Isn’t that a bit… Islamophobic and colonialist? You’re also making a lot of assumptions about Yemen here.

is not normal and is not what any Democratic President would be doing.

And yet it’s what happened under them…

@JustZ@lemmy.world look, man!!!

Good point. It can translate to direct money donations to a political party.

I wonder what kind of “republican” changes to Proton would be possible to put forth without angering the majority of users or defeating the point of Proton altogether. That’s why I don’t see this as a prelude to anything major. What do you think?

Yeah I can understand that completely.

And is there a risk he may invest money further into fascism?

Seems to me like the issue is that CEOs exist, not that this particular one has some personal opinion.

Fair enough! So what do you hope to accomplish with this action? Like, goal wise, is it to change Proton’s stance? Or is it more about being an ethical consumer?

But wouldn’t it be more productive to talk to Proton about this obviously crappy PR instead of descending into unnecessary cancelling of a perfectly good service?

And how do we know none of the other services also have fascists in their midst? This circle could go on forever until no services are left.

Asking seriously.

I don’t think any CEO I’ve ever worked for speaks for me…

Seems from the article the data was related to the IP address and device but contained no content otherwise since it goes against their policies. Could it be purely based on having to abide by the law of Switzerland?

Why treat Proton like it’s the work of a single person rather than a large team?
