But this has nothing against privacy just piracy.
Comment on Thoughts on the recent Swiss law that might require ProtonVPN to start blocking certain domains?
Ulrich@feddit.org 3 weeks agoThe only reason it’s part of their branding because Switzerland is notoriously respectful of privacy. If they stop being that then that’s no longer a selling point.

Privacy is what protects you against criminal charges or being banned by your ISP

This is a form of the “Nothing to hide” fallacy.

You people are going to hate me for thid but it’s not a privacy concern if they block piracy domains ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ulrich@feddit.org 3 weeks ago
It absolutely is.

Cool.
In other news, Swiss law makers claim opening and reading all mail sent to make sure it doesn’t include the phrase “monty bojangles” is “not a privacy concern”
My point is that in order to block a specific domain, you necessarily need to check it against a list of all legitimate domains being accessed

Why “notoriously” though?
Ulrich@feddit.org 3 weeks ago
I don’t know how to answer that.

I believe “notorious” is used in negative contexts. I was curious why Switzerland being respectful of privacy would be a bad thing.
Ulrich@feddit.org 3 weeks ago
no, that’s not what notorious means. It just means a lot of people know about it.
