Youre right. And… Do you think DEI becoming a buzzword in the Republican culture war makes it more or less likely there will be more of those lawsuits?
But yes, at the end of the day, whatever the reason it just means more racism, because bias is often hard to prove and you often can’t prove that bias accounts for a lack of advancement, you just feel it, and bias can make getting ahead so much harder in so many ways.
I think Republicans especially hated DEI because it could include trans and LGBT people. The existence of trans people means their made up god is fake, because their fantasy book says Adam and Eve, not Adam Eve and They/Them. If trans people are real, then the magical fantasy book is a lie, and then they’ve been lied to and fooled and their magic jebus bread didnt really have magical powers and they can’t possibly admit to that, so here we are.
i wonder if they are a honeypot too
If you use a free tier VPN, which doesn’t allow torrenting, then connect tor to it, then connect another non-tor encrypted connection to that (such as a different VPN), if you torrent from the different VPN (an encrypted VPN stream that passes through Proton), they still detect torrenting. This suggests advanced DPI. What no log VPN needs DPI?
They also have dark design elements including logs you have to turn off by default.
Proton also does aggressive scanning of certain things users do and will shut down accounts based on that. The problem is what privacy focused company scans user stuff like that?
They also log multiple browser metrics when signing up or at least access them, such as audio context fingerprints. Is that really important for the sign up process?
It wasn’t bad they gave up info to jail an activist, it was bad they said in their marketing materials they couldnt and didnt do that.
ProtonVPN also for many years never accepted Monero and their email didn’t as well. So they care about privacy, but won’t accept the privacy crypto? There wasn’t a rational explanation for it, unless they are a honeypot. There were third parties who could have accepted the funds. The whole thing was unusual. It was incredibly suspicious. If you care about privacy so much, why not accept Monero for your email services? This is the most damning part of this. If they are a honeypot, it makes sense, if they aren’t it’s a head scratcher.
It could be a coincidence? Possibly? But probably it isn’t. Everyone who loves privacy loves XMR. They don’t like XMR. You know who hates XMR? Governments. And so if someone is saying “I love privacy” and has numerous complex programs released, but then says XMR is too hard to accept, it should indicate something is odd.
