I might be wrong, but they have not done anything to affect the privacy credentials of their privacy-centred vegetable dish. Unless Proton have they previously declared that they would not stuff AI in user and employees faces, I am struggling to understand why Proton specifically has triggered a backlash.

Sorry: I started with vegetable analogy but gave up halfway - the meat of the response is lost without the privacy/AI context.

FuckAI and what its doing to our world, economy, and to human beings but… why is Proton getting the hard treatment when so many other “AI first” businesses get a free pass to exploit/consume/destroy? Eli5: What is it about this specific privacy-focused business that has caused it to be so vociferously singled out for punishment? Like, have the people calling for migrating away from Proton stopped using Amazon, Atislan, Facebook, Twitter, Adobe etc?

That is some headline. “Tisch” is a person apparently, not a sound you make when you are disappointed. I have no idea what “Meta-banned” refers to, or why it’s relevant to the NYPD - does Facebook no longer using it mean the NYPD are prevented from using it?

Yes, plain text is the way to go. Advertising, special offer, promotion emails, reminders from brands you have subscribed to etc filter themselves out in to two categories when you see only text: those who bother to use words to tell you something (and might be worth reading), or brands whose emails contain virtually nothing (apart from a handy unsubscribe link) once the pretty pictures have been expunged.
