Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new "king"

Update: position got backed up by an official Proton post on Mastodon, it's an official Proton statement now. https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503

Update 2, plot-twist: they removed this response from Mastodon - seems they realize it exploded into their face!

I don't understand how everyone can be so blind to the surveillance that already exists.

Literally all your communications or purchase or browsing history, 90% of people's photos and contacts, everything you ever say near your phone/smart devices, your health data with devices like fitbit, cm resolution spy satelites, 4D maps of the entire globe being created via services like Pokemon Go, phones create and store in the cloud high resolution 3D maps of your face, mesh networked devices like Alexa now surveil without you even having internet access, your home and your exact location down to a meter are already being live spied on. Not to mention full remote access to all your devices.

Sometimes with a thin veneer of privacy on top of it, like Apple pretends to have.

Basically the only part of you that the surveillance state doesn't constantly surveil already is your butthole.

Even avoiding just 10% of this surveillance in your daily life is almost impossible.

It's like people were born after Snowden's leaks

Soon smart toilets will also surveil your butthole.
