🎉 Welcome to the Proton Meet, where escape from the CLOUD Act is promised, yet hilariously undermined by... using the CLOUD Act infrastructure! 🤦‍♂️ Their privacy policy is as transparent as their grasp on #irony, leaving you wondering if their marketing team was on vacation. 🌩️✨

Proton Meet Isn't What They Told You It Was

Proton built Proton Meet to escape the CLOUD Act. They built it on CLOUD Act infrastructure. Their website promises "not even government agencies" can access your calls. The company routing them hands your call records to the government when asked. Proton hid them from their privacy policy.

I have not updated my iPhone or MacBook to the latest OS updates because of Apple’s introduction of age verification in the UK. I have a number of Qs that I will be asking Apple & @Ofcom https://t.co/iEInxmRpMn

🤖 Bloomberg's latest revelation: #AI mastered #chess only for #humans to ruin it with their #unpredictable whims. 🤦‍♂️ The #irony of a site demanding proof of humanity while discussing machines outsmarting us is almost palpable. 🌐💼

@cmconseils I think the elegance of the meme in conveying the concept is highly ironic.

🤖 Bloomberg's data-aggregating #bots seem to have misplaced their sense of #irony 🤔. Instead of delivering market insights, they're demanding #CAPTCHA tests like it's a Turing test for financial literacy 📉. Maybe their next move will be to replace stock analysts with browser settings experts 🤷‍♂️.

🧠🔪 Ah, the irony! #Neanderthals thrived on the brink for 350,000 years, yet here we are in 2023, utterly helpless without #JavaScript and cookies. 🍪 Apparently, modern man can't even read about ancient #survival without a digital crutch. 😂
