This is major and unfortunate. And worst of all, not their fault, and unlike companies like Apple, I believe them when they say they're nearly to the point where it wouldn't be possible to keep afloat.
Thanks, AI.
And anybody could try to take down your repository by pointing to copyright law in general. Bad faith takedowns are not a new phenomenon.
That's just Facedeer, an infamous AI booster and concern troll.
A bad faith troll could claim any genuine rule against platform abuse could be turned into a witch hunt. Rules like "don't upload giant files to overwhelm our servers" or, since I'm reminded of someone else who claims they're labeled a witch, "don't harass transgender people"...

This is so nice to see, in contrast to that other Tea Party group that's repeating Big AI talking points and getting a ton of coverage...
Please don't mandate computerized light dimming
A bill introduced into Congress earlier this year—the LIGHT (Limiting Intense Glare for Highway and Two-lane) Safety Act—directs the U.S. Secretary of Transportation to study and establish an overarching maximum allowable brightness for low-beam headlights in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Right now, there are rules around the intensity of headlights at different parts of the beam, but no limits on the overall brightness.
Oh, a good bill.
Their marketing says that they will fight to defend your privacy, which is explicitly proactive language.
Nowhere in their marketing will they even hint at the fact that Swiss law will compel them to work with foreign governments.
Speaking of lying by omission, we moving entirely off discussing the Proton-promoted blog post that is even worse with its messaging?
Oh, so Proton totally won't work with Trump's admin unless they get a lawful order and then they'll bend over backwards.
Your Proton-backed blog post lies by omitting the second part. Having you say it post facto doesn't absolve you of pushing deceptive material.
Speaking of lies by omission, any blog post that doesn't address the official Proton Team response is unreliable. You can be snarky about it, but it's clear the blog is being deceptive with what it intentionally ignores.
Fifty-four known class members and over 500,000 potential class members will each receive an estimated $3,100 per work, from approximately 482,000 works.
Still too low IMO but a big upgrade
Oh no... It's you. I actually thought you believed the blog post and didn't know better. Because its assertion about Swiss law is the opposite of yours right now.
You can't say Proton is legally mandated to violate privacy while pushing a Proton-backed page that says
Even if Andy supported MAGA and wished to cooperate with Trump’s DOJ, such actions would be illegal in Switzerland and blocked by Swiss courts.
Because this is absolutely wrong, and you knew as much.
But even if that nonsense wasn't in there, the failure to mention the official Proton Team response in the blog post would be enough. Now I know you're familiar with it, but here it is for anybody else who hasn't seen it.
