    @Photonic@lemmy.world @mabeledo@lemmy.world @EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world I’m glad you took the time to look at my post, but why did you dislike it? Did the new information offend you in some way?

      Because it’s dumb.

      Proton then stated that they “stand with journalists” but “cannot see the content of accounts and therefore cannot always know when anti-abuse measures may inadvertently affect legitimate activism.”

      Every legitimate email service has anti abuse policies in place. The alternative is letting the service be turned into a bot farming operation, or worse.

      Still waiting for your recommended alternatives.

      It’s just incredibly stupid and short-sighted.

      Edit: also, how are you tracking your downvotes? Serious question.

      You were trying to help out that other misinformation bot find the made up event he was talking about and you couldn’t. I downvoted it because that’s what you’re supposed to do with unhelpful information.

        The information I provided was true. Why are you lying about it?

          The information you provided did not prove what he said at all. Why are you lying about it?

          Rhetorical of course, you’re a misinformation bot.
