5·2 years agoProton AG lost me as a customer the minute they backdoored a binding arbitration clause into their TOS last year.
The difficulty of proving damages in breach of privacy cases combined with generally weak privacy legislation globally means the threat of a class action often serves as one of the only practical deterrents to abuses of power by corporations controlling sensitive personal information. By changing its terms of service, Proton essentially immunized itself from suffering any significant penalty in the event its negligence leads to a mass breach of privacy of its users.
Tactics like the use of binding arbitration clauses are hallmarks of inherently untrustworthy corporations.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•PeerTube stress tests: resilience lies in your peers!English
1·2 years agoAnyone care to share their thoughts on proper netiquette when posting to a Peertube instance?
Specifically I’d be interested to learn if it’s only considered appropriate for those contributing to the network (either by hosting a server or contributing financially) to post or if the uploading of original work is itself is considered a contribution.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Mullvad Announce Latest Infrastructure Audit
3·3 years agoService is fine, but GNU/Linux support needs improvement.
They just changed their TOS to forbid paying customers from seeking any form of judicial remedy, so you can guess the direction they’re headed.
Needless to say I won’t be renewing.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•What is this hardened Firefox I hear about?
2·3 years agoAs many others have pointed out Arkenfox is a great way to harden Firefox that saves much of the effort of manually editing about:config
Because I didn’t see one already here’s a link to an install tutorial for Arkenfox in case it helps anyone to get started.
Here’s a map showing the locations of this corporation’s existing readers: DeFlock.me
It’s operated by a group of privacy advocates and educators to spread awareness. Flock tried to use a bogus trademark claim to interfere with the project.
