not trying to justify it even a bit, but shouldn't people in his position (actively acting against the US-supported position) use something more secure? Like proton for starters?

I think most of the activists know the drill (not to use gmail/outlook/icloud... in their activism-related communications).

>> Casper Klynge, a former Danish and European Union diplomat who worked for Microsoft, said the episode was in many ways the “smoking gun that many Europeans had been looking for.” Damn right. Strong evidence that Europe should look after their own, and not rely on the good old US of A. Written by an Australian who thinks we should do the same down here.

They’re working on it! And they’re making it open source :)

  Our goal is to offer a privacy-focused, vendor-neutral alternative to platforms like Microsoft Exchange.

The parent comment never mentioned any of that. You're chewing them out for living somewhere you disagree with. And unless that parent poster's name is Rupert Murdoch, I guarantee you they cannot do anything to change these issues for you.

Where do you live? Since you're so confident in the righteousness of your politics.

You have a bunch of tech execs getting sworn in as lieutenant colonels for the Army Reserve, SF aligns itself with the White House just like Germany's big industry aligned itself with the NSDAP. It doesn't particularly matter whether an order is legal or not, it only matters if the ones in power want it.

What would motivate them to join the army?

Like the days of the British Army selling commissions, it's for corruption opportunities and cosplay.

US has never been "good". Listening to Sachs and Measrheimer they keep saying (in these or other words) that "you know a US president is lying because their mouth is moving". Microsoft is just one more cog in the power-hungry apparatus of the US.

And of course they cannot be trusted. (Same applies for Google, Apple and any other entity in the US that can be served with a gag order and a subpoena.

The masks sometimes drop and we see the true face of who is what. And when Microsoft pulls a fast one like that it shows us the real face/where the loyalty is (and it is never to the client).
