Were dems busy that day? Did he try a different approach when he talked to the right. Anyone can go to DC and be heard or ignored on a lobbying trip.\n>\n> Also, the content creator of the video was not vetted for sponsorship because they don’t usually do that. They admitted fault and are changing procedures to appropriately vet moving forward. I think their marketing team might even be external. Also, fascists never admit fault or accept accountability.\n>\n> This sounds like big tech doesn’t want competition. You’ve seen google prevent side loading, and do a ton of shady things at this point. Why not a smear campaign too?\n>\n> Thus guy might be a raging fascist dickhead for all I know. I’m just pointing out that the supposed evidence falls short and proves nothing.\n>\n>   1. Concerns I see are that Proton encourages you to import spam from your last account\n>\n>   2. They were lobbying in the US (there are good reasons to do that though)\n>\n>   3. They send your gmail notifications that you have new Proton emails along with details of that email if you use your old gmail as a recovery while transitioning - just use a different recovery email\n>\n>\n\n>\n> None of those actual concerns have anything to do with far right ideologies.\n\nOC by @ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com",
