    Proton CEO goes full MAGA
  • That was actually a SECOND attempt at saving face. The original unedited reddit comment has been archived here:

    https://archive.ph/quYyb

    Here is our official response, also available on the Mastodon post in the screenshot:

    Corporate capture of Dems is real. In 2022, we campaigned extensively in the US for anti-trust legislation.

    Two bills were ready, with bipartisan support. Chuck Schumer (who coincidently has two daughters working as big tech lobbyists) refused to bring the bills for a vote.

    At a 2024 event covering antitrust remedies, out of all the invited senators, just a single one showed up - JD Vance.

    By working on the front lines of many policy issues, we have seen the shift between Dems and Republicans over the past decade first hand.

    Dems had a choice between the progressive wing (Bernie Sanders, etc), versus corporate Dems, but in the end money won and constituents lost.

    Until corporate Dems are thrown out, the reality is that Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses.

    He's in damage control mode but somebody needs to just take Andy's phone away. At least until they can decide what exactly their approach here is going to be. Becuse changing it every 20 mins is fuckin' amateur hour.

  • Proton CEO goes full MAGA
  • Is it true though?

    Yes. AG William Barr sought to force backdoors in encryption in 2019. You can read all about it in the article I linked to.

  • Proton CEO goes full MAGA
  • People forget that the current antitrust actions against Big Tech were started under the first Trump admin.

    And you seem to have forgotten that Trump's Attorney General William Barr tried to force backdoors in encryption.

    So shut the fuck up Andy, you're out of your element.

    Corporate America embraces a new era of conservatism under Donald Trump
  • "I feel liberated," said a top banker. “We can say ‘r*tard’ and ‘p*ssy’ without fear of getting cancelled … it’s a new dawn.”

    Imagine how pathetic you'd have to be to say this statement unironically. But I guess that's why this loser didn't let them use their name.

  • Anyone appearing on Newsmax should be disregarded. And Andy Harris is a great example as to why. The man practically goes out of his was to avoid finding himself on the decent side of an issue. He’s a clown and an embarrassment to the state of Maryland.

  • I’ve blocked it already but I would support an instance wide ban as a matter of principle. I’m not using Lemmy for Reddit bot spam. I’m here to share content and chat with people.

    I get that the point was to provide Lemmy users with more content in their feeds but I think, though well intentioned, the idea of using bots to provide content from Reddit was misguided. It’s okay for Lemmy instances to be a small little corner of the internet. Anyone that expected activity levels comparable to Reddit was in for disappointment and have probably already left. So I’m not sure what value it ever really served.
