Watch the proton ceo ignore this while claiming the Trump administration “wants to regulate big tech”

[–] Comtief@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I don't understand.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Nor do I. Wasn't the Proton CEO kissing the ring a few weeks ago?

[–] Comtief@lemm.ee -1 points 4 months ago

Apparently that was a misunderstanding, he communicated badly. Or I'm thinking of something else, idk. https://archive.ph/xoleo

You know what? They should be broken up even harder.

Bro... Under the current regime, no big tech will be touched

Killing Google to serve as a warning that the rest of them had better follow orders might be useful…

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 12 points 4 months ago

They all kissed the ring... They are all working with trump

Eh I don't see that happening, the sheer amount of data Google has on the US population is probably quite useful to the admin, for, uh, reasons.

Microsoft got off the hook when Bush II took office. Tech in general took that as a sign that monopolies were fine. That was just starting to be reversed when Trump took a second term and here we are.
