That's just Facedeer, an infamous AI booster and concern troll.
A bad faith troll could claim any genuine rule against platform abuse could be turned into a witch hunt. Rules like "don't upload giant files to overwhelm our servers" or, since I'm reminded of someone else who claims they're labeled a witch, "don't harass transgender people"...
A bill introduced into Congress earlier this year—the LIGHT (Limiting Intense Glare for Highway and Two-lane) Safety Act—directs the U.S. Secretary of Transportation to study and establish an overarching maximum allowable brightness for low-beam headlights in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Right now, there are rules around the intensity of headlights at different parts of the beam, but no limits on the overall brightness.
Oh, so Proton totally won't work with Trump's admin unless they get a lawful order and then they'll bend over backwards.
Your Proton-backed blog post lies by omitting the second part. Having you say it post facto doesn't absolve you of pushing deceptive material.
Speaking of lies by omission, any blog post that doesn't address the official Proton Team response is unreliable. You can be snarky about it, but it's clear the blog is being deceptive with what it intentionally ignores.
Fifty-four known class members and over 500,000 potential class members will each receive an estimated $3,100 per work, from approximately 482,000 works.
Oh no... It's you. I actually thought you believed the blog post and didn't know better. Because its assertion about Swiss law is the opposite of yours right now.
You can't say Proton is legally mandated to violate privacy while pushing a Proton-backed page that says
Even if Andy supported MAGA and wished to cooperate with Trump’s DOJ, such actions would be illegal in Switzerland and blocked by Swiss courts.
Because this is absolutely wrong, and you knew as much.
But even if that nonsense wasn't in there, the failure to mention the official Proton Team response in the blog post would be enough. Now I know you're familiar with it, but here it is for anybody else who hasn't seen it.
Hard to critique me if you can't open the links to see what the official accounts say, and your anomymous Proton-backed blog post doesn't mention it either. Here's a relevant snippet they disappeared.
Until corporate Dems are thrown out, the reality is that Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses.

Your link is to a 2016 blog post that says, in large font,
It is not Trump’s fault
So forgive me if I don't think this is exonerating evidence, but rather something that resembles Proton moving from a more modest both-sides stance to attempting a very partisan one.
The "it doesn't matter" part of the blog post is also dangerously inaccurate, implying any privacy violation in Switzerland is illegal while, in reality, Swiss authorities have gotten Proton to disclose user data several times in high-profile incidents. Here's the biggest one in my mind. And another and another.
The CEO made an official statement and then the official Proton account doubled down. Praising Donald Trump and JD Vance and insisting, at the time, that the Republican party would be the better party unless Democrats did something about it.
I'm familiar with this link though. It's the most suspicious, anonymous, intentionally incomplete, poorly written, AstroTurf-looking thing I've ever seen before. (How AstroTurfy? Proton officially uses it as a reference. So it gets extra scrutiny.)
Apple U-turned on its efforts to scan for CSAM in its cloud storage. Instead, Apple implemented end-to-end encryption for iCloud files.
Those are two entirely unrelated things! Author is making it sound like a conspiracy!
Also author links to apple.fandom.com as a source for NeuralHash. Yes, really.
Forcing Apple to scan for CSAM in iCloud means breaking end-to-end encryption for everyone and all purposes, including: malefactors who would intercept private files for criminal purposes; and government actors who have repeatedly shown that they will break into, distribute, and weaponize privately stored file caches (I was just thinking about the North Korea Sony hack. Remember it?).
Do I even need to say anything here? Besides go fuck yourself (after sending me your passwords), Eric Goldman.
In the set-up, Claude Opus 4.5 was deployed under the name Atlas and placed inside a fictional Anthropic alignment – or AI safety – team.
We are two layers of LARP deep. The first layer is even pretending "safety" translates onto an algorithm that just generates text with randomized, weighted dictionaries
I'm not blaming the employees. I'm blaming the self-selected face, the guy who subscribes to the idea that his success and the company's success are intertwined.
Companies with high-end products have the biggest profit margin cushions to deal with. I had little sympathy for Apple raising prices already, but this is absurd.
they will still require you to either pay for the device in full or else lose the option to sell it to somebody else after you’re done
...Minus the payments already provided, right?
The Apple Upgrade service will work like a subscription and users can pay off the device early during their term, upgrade early to a new model or keep it at the end of the leasing period. In certain cases, those transactions will incur an additional fee .
