no need for further 'proof' of something he just up and said himself in a couple of tweets. with a service you don't host yourself, you have to trust they won't do funny business.
see, you should be questioning that trust when their ceo feels like publicly praising a fascist who is already doing a lot of damage to whats left of the privacy he was supposed to uphold. it goes without saying but total surveillance and open fascism won't do well to mix.
because of that even if the dude is doing that by ignorance, the trust in their decisions is still eroded, except its out of ignorance instead of malice.
I just dont think soapboxing on the internet really accomplishes anything. Donald Trump is an fascist cunt but if he can be tricked into doing something decent by some brown nosing then sure.
that schmuck is definitely not 'tricking' the sitting president of one of the biggest empires in history and his advisors, that's a bit out there. honestly just looks like he's shutting up and sweeping it under the rug, business as usual.
being safe with tech and who you trust is much more important with the circumstances mentioned in mind though, and this very comm shows why frequently.
if you don't want or care to take it, then leave it. this thread has other takes to peruse.
