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?

He should have asked some genAI to write this 😐

Oh thanks for the article! I think I read something similar on Wikipedia but generally it seems that his statements mean that Canada does not agree with the case but is not necessarily siding with anyone, at least not explicitly. I don’t think they support South Africa nor Israel. I honestly respect Canada for its neutral stance on this… sometimes some things are just not one’s business nor in one’s interest so I feel like it’s not a bad idea say that one respects the ICCs decisions but doesn’t really agree with some of the cases while they are still under review.

I guess we will have to wait and see the decision. What do you expect the outcome to be? Do you think they have compelling evidence to prove it’s a full blown genocide? I don’t mean evidence like articles from biased media (like Al Jazera), but more like LEGAL evidence.

Yeah you’re right about the distribution. I found this on Wikipedia on South Africa’s genocide case against Israel Thought you might like it

It looks like Canada is neutral on the matter though. Like you said, they have a cool head. It’s not unwise to be on the fence on a matter that doesn’t relate to you directly.

Thanks for the thorough explanation! I would like to see some links for some things you mentioned (like the warnings being a hoax and blocking escape routes)… but most of the other stuff I was able to find online easily with google.

But so… does Israel value the destruction of Hamas more than the civilian lives of Palestinians in Gaza? I feel like the cost is too high. 🤔 don’t get me wrong, I am not a general but I don’t feel like I’d be okay with firing into a crowd of children and women in a residential area to kill X number of combatants, even if they snuck into these areas designated for civilians only 😅😅

Could I ask. Especially that I’m just now learning about all of this… how are Gazans considered a human shield all together? Are they meant to protect the tunnels from attacks or?

Hmm, but if they are larger in number, it doesn’t necessarily mean they are right. Right? 🤔 Or am I misunderstanding your point?
