  5. Ok, sooooo…the #Proton #ProtonMail issues continue. Thanks to @TheJen and @someguy getting my attention to it. TL;DR Result is I’m so happy with my Mailbox.org account for a year now. And ooh dear, the official response about “accidental” promotion of a far-right French fascist within Proton reads just like Substack owners did with the similar uproars regarding Nazis. Turns out 3 years on, Substack is even more comfortable with the fascist ties so no longer a controversy. This is Strike 2 for me on the ownership of Proton. Expect it will go the profitable way Substack has. NOPE for me.

    Protonmail response to Lapierre featured as affiliate and sponsored post/website

    This is about a website for Vincent Lapierre, far right French extremist. Unfortunately many people don’t see this was accidental “affiliate and sponsorship” promotion. Thus, maybe reconsider is you use any of the Proton mail or services.

    I posted earlier so you can see a LOT of boosts through Fediverse. I did a lot of checking various sources and since #Reddit has a lot of people on the case and in so many subs I found one with the most recent (this morning 6/8/26) direct reply from Proton, am passing along the link to it there. BUT if you don’t want to follow the link into the r/degoogle sub, a screenshot below.

    I can’t get settings on my account there to show a light background and it’s pretty hard to read small text. Turns out from my screenshot if you need alt-text, you are better to go to my link. BTW I’m very #Antifa and I am mid #DeGoogle

    LaPierre sat in the courtroom looking on as the #jury #verdict was read.

  16. #NYAG James began investigating the org 4 yrs ago amid reports of runaway spending practices. Since then, it has been in a tailspin.

    Membership has plummeted from nearly 6M 5yrs ago to 4.2M today. Revenue is down 44% since 2016, acc/to internal audits, & #legal costs have soared to tens of millions a year.

    Nonetheless, the gun rights movement has become a bulwark of #conservative #politics during #LaPierre’s yrs leading the #NRA.

  18. The development will change the shape of the NYC trial, since #NYAG #LeticiaJames was seeking to oust #WayneLaPierre from his position. She is also seeking financial penalties from #LaPierre & 3 other defendants.

    LaPierre played a leading role in transforming #GunCulture in #America, but the last ½ decade of his tenure at the #NRA was marred by scandals & internal upheaval.
