Just tell Modi that Proton’s CEO is a Trump endorser.
This is a great ad to use proton!
I like it. This means that Proton actually works and they have no way to steal your information.
Right. Couldn’t ask for a better endorsement. Especially since the company has been taking a lot of Ls recently.
India is bad
India is actually awesome Mohdi on the other hand……
*Modi. But yes … he’s kind of a snowflake. Never had a press conference in 11 years, except when he was forced to outside India.
Ah sorry I thought there was an h in there. Most right wingers are the biggest fucking snowflakes, they sure know how to dish it out but can’t take any.
true… but at the same time India is slowly following China & Russia in terms of their human rights, privacy violation and “open” internet (closed).
Yes Mohdi is a typical strong man idiot.
When Russia sought to ban PM in their country they used the same excuse as India (fake bomb threats). However, understanding that this can be done via different email services, just underlines that Russia and India are scared of their citizens taking their privacy back and perhaps even organizing.
They even tried to restrict VPN companies by passing a bill that forces them to keep logs. Proton was one of the companies that packed up and left. Good VPN companies don’t have servers in India.

They’re far from being the sole countries scared about citizens safekeeping any semblance of online privacy (hi from France, EU)
Sorry to hear about France. It’s really worse in France regarding your freedom online. Ironically.
Another reason to use proton
How? You can access it through Tor and other proxies.
No need for anything extra proton already comes with alternate routing
Its usually somehow possible to evade such bans, but not every citizen knows about proxies and how to properly use them. So reducing its accessibility certainly hurts India.
Funny thing is that the more you block, the less these bans matter. Every time a big social media gets blocked, a few more unaware people install a VPN (even if a sketchy one, but that’s a completely different story). So pretty much everyone around me uses at least one banned service, which in turn makes all the other bans not matter. The only instance when it does is when they block the previously-working means of ban evasion (like when they blocked Wireguard/Openvpn last year) and people have to find a new one.
Not sure I’m not Indian. But we should see it as a war against encryption
It kind of is war against encryption. I generally say western media covers Indian government in unfair bad light, but this is exactly the type of bad light coverage I support. Call out the actual stupidity from the government.

India blocking a Nazi service is a win.
What the heck are you talking about?
Can you explain? I thought Proton was a good service due to their VPN and such.
The company seems fine but I think they’re referring to the pro-Trump comments the CEO made.
There was a mistake in that comment afaik. It was something where context was missing from the picture which you could have seen on twitter and understand that the CEO is not pro- Trump
Proton edited and deleted some of their responses because it made them look even worse. You can find one here: https://archive.ph/quYyb
Complete delusion believing Trump will “stand up for the little guy”. The GOP is the party that gutted net neutrality after all. They had the Chevron doctrime overturned. The Thiel-Musk funded party standing up for “little tech”? Please.
The CEO tried to spin it off as “missing context” but the responses show he’s either completely delusional, has been comatose for the past two decades or is just pro-Trump. I can’t look inside his head, but his tacit endorsement of the party actively dismantling US democracy is not something that can really “lack context”.
Proton, the company, has donated to liberal parties. The CEO seems to be a bit more of the “libertarian” type, that doesn’t seem to mind everything the GOP did in the past years.
Fair

You can have your own opinion but remember that you dont need to be that rude to others
Lol wat?
Are these ceo tears?!
Proton is also a great service.
He isnt pro- Trump and neither a Nazi.
Go research again, it was just a comment with removed context
