You can say what you want, but this is mostly the norm with subscriptions. Not only that but legally they can often index the price as well. I haven't seen a single subscription in Europe that keeps Grandfathering prices with the exception of Old School Runescape where people claim it.I haven't verified it
But. We still have the possibility of saying: NO. NO. I will NOT pay you for this service as is.
In Proton’s case, they said they are pro privacy. They built off that back.
Now, if the guy in charge of the ship is known to be fond of icebergs.. time to find a new ship and a better captain.
It’s ANNOYING to move services. Agreed. It’s annoying to be having to fight so hard for basic privacy. Agreed.
If you don’t consider it and just comply: you’re potentially putting yourself at risk.
There is still no proof that they aren’t complying with their own privacy standerds. Just because the CEO is a dick doesn’t mean the entire company has to be a dick. If everything is properly arranged the CEO shouldn’t even be arranged to push things that go against the believes and statements of the company in the situation of an European company with the structure of Proton.
Currently I am unable to switch anyway due to time restrains and such, so I am just gonna see if we hear anything about the next audit regarding privacy.
