Scam porno dating company Neto Web Development B.V a/k/a Docamos Communications B.V. a/k/a Inovo Internet Innovation B.V. a/k/a Bitmaster Online B.V.

This company promotes their fake websites (of the "lonely singles in your area" type") via spam emails.

Notably, many of these scam sites are in Swedish, though some are in English. The companies themselves purport to be in the Netherlands.

These websites purport to offer users the ability to meet people to have sex with. However, hidden in the terms of service:

7.3 You hereby acknowledge and agree that the Output is fictitious and created for entertainment purposes only and that part or all of it may be AI-generated. You therefore will not: (a) rely on Output as a source of truth or factual information; and (b) use any Output for any purposes other than as set out in these Terms. We disclaim all liability and responsibility arising from any reliance placed on any Content or Output by you or any other user of the Platform, or by anyone who may be informed of the Content or Output, except with regard to defects of such Content or Output that were known by us and fraudulently not disclosed by us.

This isn't disclosed when creating an account or when viewing profiles, as far as I can tell.

Interestingly, the Wayback Machine, Ghost Archive, and even archive.today fail to properly save the terms of service.
This seems to be because the actual policy is loaded dynamically by https://agreementcadence.com/cc.js with some query parameters
The homepage of that site reads:

Collect Consent, require cc.js on website where to apply consent collection!

WHOIS shows agreementcadence.com was registered in 2023 by White Mountain Online Solutions B.V.: [Behind CloudFlare] https://www.bigdomaindata.com/whois-history/agreementcadence.com

This website says White Mountain owned sneakyneighbors[.]com, which now lists Inovo Internet Innovation: https://web.archive.org/web/20241114134937/https://datingspot24.com/reviews/sneakyneighbors.com-experience/

More evidence linking White Mountain to scams: https://web.archive.org/web/20231123123456/https://vaarallinenweb.blogspot.com/2022/04/sydan-harvemmin-kaipaa-seksia.html

PublicWWW says 67 (not joking) websites reference agreementcadence.com, but it won't tell me which specific websites.

Searching agreementcadence.com does return some sandbox reports showing connections to this domain, unearthing some more scam sites like neighborswithsecrets[.]com (another Inovo) and sxmessengers[.]com (same, but new template).

Anyway, all blocklisted in the Malicious Website Blocklist.

As a kid, I never understood why people think calling someone a woman or feminine is insulting. Femininity was to me something desirable, and I never understood why cis men were afraid to be associated with it.

Clearly there are people who do want to be masculine (e.g. transmasc people), and that is valid, but broadly implying masculinity is superior is blatantly sexist.

The other implication is that women are stupid and incapable of reasoning, so therefore comparing someone to a woman implies they are stupid. Moreover, the implication is that men shouldn't point out problems with men (which is what the original post did).

Two posts on a social media platform.
The original post is by systembuilder.eng, and reads "You sound like a female".
The second post is by Qasim Rashid, Esq, and reads "Thank you I happily take that as a compliment. Women are awesome."

Proton responded to my email about Vincent Lapierre.

In its response, Proton told me:

Vincent Lapierre's channel should never have been part of our affiliate and sponsorship program, because we intentionally avoid association with channels whose content could distract from our message and divide our community.

They said their team lacked sufficient knowledge of French politics to evaluate the sponsorship deal, and stated they regretted the sponsorship.

Proton said they are reviewing their vetting process and guidelines.

Lapierre didn't respond to an earlier request for comment. His latest video, published earlier today, is not sponsored by Proton.

In a post on X dated 8 June, Lapierre stated Proton had ended their relationship with him. He called Proton's decision "intimidation", and said he planned to release a video on it.

In a reply, Proton founder Andy Yen stated:

Proton supports the right to have an opinion, but Proton itself must stay neutral. We defend and protect users across the political spectrum, but sponsorships require neutrality. This shouldn't have passed vetting in the first place irrespective of the public campaigns.

In a later reply, Yen stated:

To be clear, the problem is not because you represent the right (we don't take sides), but because for better or for worse, you are a somewhat controversial figure in France who arouses strong opinions from many people, while Proton does not want privacy to become controversial.
