    Why would they have to?

    Do they really have to specify when they cite the law that that the law works for them exactly like it does for everyone else?

    They never say they are above the law or will break the law either. Now that would be false advertising.

      Why would they have to?

      Proton is a privacy service. If the best thing you can say about its deception is that they aren’t violating the law, you have a very low bar.

        Where did I mention it is the best thing about them?

        No really. Please quote me.

        And if you can’t, you may have found the actual straw man argument in this discussion. Good luck!

      Their advertising is already false advertising, Photonic. Stop making up strawman scenarios to defend the dishonest corporation.

        What part of my argument is a straw man to you?

        Is the straw man in the room with us right now?
