Edward Shone, head of communications for Proton AG, the company behind Proton Mail, told 404 Media in an email: β€œWe want to first clarify that Proton did not provide any information to the FBI, the information was obtained from the Swiss justice department via MLAT. Proton only provides the limited information that we have when issued with a legally binding order from Swiss authorities, which can only happen after all Swiss legal checks are passed. This is an important distinction because Proton operates exclusively under Swiss law.” Functionally, though, the material was provided to the FBI.

The Americans with their hands on the levers of power (& their supporters) have been fine with American kids being murdered in schools for decades! They are not going to care about a school full of foreign kids being murdered by American bombs

I have begun figuring out what I can do in the face of everything that is going on in the world both local & international:
reach out to vulnerable friends & colleagues offering what assistance I can
make book lists to educate those who may be ignorant & help others feel seen
vote
challenge untruths
