kepanoToday in ransomware, Slack increases pricing by $195k with a week's notice for a non-profit that teaches teenagers how to code.

@kepano Honestly, ransomware is the perfect description of SaaS like this. It’s a massive racket

@home@phillip thank you so much for being one of the few comments that's blaming slack and not the victim.
@betalars Are people really blaming the non profit? I haven’t seen any of that on fedi at least
@phillip should have seen that coming, that's why you don't use SAAS ... the majority of responses are in that direction.
@betalars Fair points broadly speaking, but doesn’t consider that most people aren’t even aware of this stuff, much less have the time, energy, and knowledge to do something about it
@phillip especially as this is a particularly krass example. I think in Germany business practices like these would plainly be illegal.
