Proton joins suit against Apple for predatory practices that harm developers and consumers
https://proton.me/blog/apple-lawsuit

I find this interesting:
"Proton itself has also been victim of Apple’s censorship. In 2020, Apple threatened to take Proton VPN out of the App Store unless we removed language from our App Store description that said the app could be used to “unblock censored websites.”

If you're trying to avoid the legality and jurisdiction of the United States, you should know:

Proton is subject to Us Jurisdiction.

If you need or want an alternative, I have a whole list of providers outside Us Jurisdiction

People were like -- Nah man, it is only Proton Wallet.

Not anymore, it's not. Proton is under Us Jurisdiction.

RE: https://mk.absturztau.be/notes/a8s37jdhk1ps00n0

I’m almost entirely divested from #google.
Chrome #Firefox
Chrome PW Manager #Bitwarden
Search #DuckDuckGo
Drive #ProtonDrive
️ Docs didn’t use anyway
Gmail #ProtonMail
Calendar #ProtonCalendar
Forms

I don’t use forms except to survey my soccer team about upcoming seasons. Obv google’s is nice as it ports easily to sheets, but I want out.

Those w/ experience w/ #CryptPad, how is it? How would it work for my use case?

Benutzt hier jemand etwas der Nachstehenden und wenn ja, was ist eure Erfahrung/Meinung?

So, #protonmail and #protoncalendar are kind of garbage. Anyone have any workarounds?

Es gibt also noch Hoffnung für einen funktionierenden #OfflineMode bei #Proton: [...] And even more on the horizon: Tasks, search, and offline mode - To support much-requested features like tasks, search capabilities, and offline access, we’ve started work on our next generation of Proton Calendar apps for iOS and Android, which we aim to release toward the end of 2025.

A company truly outside Us Jurisdiction does NOT have terms and conditions concerning Us Customer and Us Laws, because they do not need them, because they do not apply to them. The same way, they do not need to include the other 200 or so, nations around the world.

It is rocket science. This is not hard to understand.

" 200 or so, countries world-wide, and they only include terms and cite laws, that they know apply to them. "

Proton is leaving because Proton cannot control the flow of information here on the Fediverse.

Most corporations mimic social algorithms to their advantage, particularly, to suppress news and information that may not paint them in a good light. Proton cannot do that on the Fediverse.

When Proton rebranded a few years ago, which caused some people to lose their accounts with no refund, they silenced any complaints on both Facebook and Reddit. I know, because I was one of those people. Most of you were happy to have the new upgraded accounts, but if you had the original family plan, which they discontinued (only to start selling a new family plan months later), you were not a happy person to find out you lost your service.

Additionally, it has been brought to people's attention that Proton now falls under Us-jurisdiction. Proton would like to argue that is only for Proton Wallet, but our legal system does not allow a company to pick and choose. Plus, even if they could (you cannot), it means they could still be pressured and influence by US Politics and US Laws now. This was another little fact, Proton wanted to suppress, but cannot because the Fediverse is organic, and not centralized.

#LeavingGoogle ecosystem is tedious task. And it is made even harder by incompetence of other developers.

I really like #ProtonMail and #ProtonCalendar, but their Android app and widget is so terrible, I need to stay with at least Google calendar keep some QoL I get used to.
It's similar to #Spotify. When I returned to MP3 and installed #Pulsar I quickly realized it doesn't work with my headphones in ways I expect from modern software.

I hate big corporations, but they set some good standards.

Yo @protonprivacy! Paying customer here, currently fighting #fascism in the US. You need to fire Andy Yen immediately to make it clear that you are not on the side of dictators.

This is not a difficult decision.

I was waiting for some kind of response or some kind of excuse. That article put some kind of explanation.

Some reaction went to far, but that was realy alarming in the context.

The silence of @protonprivacy was a bad choice and it had cost a lot of money.
