Zero-access encryption

Your chats are stored using our battle-tested zero-access encryption, so even we can’t read them, similar to other Proton services such as Proton Mail, Proton Drive, and Proton Pass.

from protons own website.

And why this is not true is explained in the article from the main post as well as easily figured out with a little common sense (AI can't respond to messages it can't understand, so the AI must decrypt them).

Their AI is not local, so adding it to your email means breaking e2ee. That's to some extent fine. You can make an informed decision about it.

But proton is not putting warning labels on this. They are trying to confuse people into thinking it is the same security as their e2ee mails. Just look at the "zero trust" bullshit on protons own page.

Yes, indeed. Even so, just because there is a workaround, we should not ignore the issue (governments descending into fascism).

The worst part is that once again, proton is trying to convince its users that it's more secure than it really is. You have to wonder what else they are lying or deceiving about.

Targeting civilians is the poster child of war crimes.

You can bomb soldiers. You can bomb soldiers mixed with civilians. You can even bomb civilians making weapons in a factory. But you can't just starve and bomb civilians for no reason. And you can't bomb 100 civilians because there is 1 suspected fighter. Has to be proportional.

I used a VPN yesterday to see how it looks in the UK. Seems a lot of porn sites don't give a shit about UK and don't require any verification. So once again, the law abiding sites are punished while kids are pushed towards the lawless ones. As predicted.

Posted on an article about an app encouraging different users to upload info about you without your consent. Yes, really simple.

There are no very clear reasons to distrust proton, but is it just me that finds them releasing a 2FA app kinda disturbing? Like, why waste the resources? What could they do better than Aegis, which is already FOSS and privacy preserving? If there is no reason, than I have to wonder if the hidden reason is to get more data into their ecosystem. Which a privacy focused company shouldn't care about.

I am probably just paranoid but I don't trust Proton.

No. Even if EU went full on dictator and tried, how would they get the sourcode? :D Unless the US would force Microsoft to hand it over, it would not happen.

This has been the case for a long time, so suddenly you have apps like Tea that encourage you to upload info of other people. So now even the few that take care not to upload their info can be nicely monitored. And the Gestapo does not even need to pay their informants for it.

Fuck. You are right, my apologies.

Wrong. Join. Refuse to do anything but stall getting fired for as long as possible. You get more money. Government gets delayed from hiring a Nazi replacement for you. Bonus points for sabotage like tipping people off about planned raids.

 

I see this way too often here on Lemmy, so I want to post this. Starting a commune is legal in most countries. If you believe in communism, you can found a commune and show us all how great it is.

You lack money? Well, that is literally what stock markets and venture capitalists (capitalism) are created to solve. If you are ready for an IPO, you can sell shares to raise funds. If you are not, you can get Venture Capital in exchange for shares until you are ready for an IPO.

Getting rid of capitalism means you need to find a different way to obtain funding for new ventures. And if your system relies on government charity (some government board handing you money) or taking resources violently, than your system sucks.

Edit: I don't mean that this is a replacement for full communist system. I mean this as a way to get some of the advantages while showing sceptics (like me) it can work and is better. A first step.
