Appreciate the explanation, I do understand the sentiment that it is a very apparent observation based on a few different factors but that wasn’t what I was trying to bring to surface, simply wanted to say Proton is not the friendliest provider if you wanted anonymity.

I even appreciate their joke about “censored government” but hey to all their own.

It’s only logical it’ll go up in search trend when something is banned but regardless it doesn’t change the fact they can and will use your data to make profile to sell. Idk why people upset and downvoting like I said something grotesque

Is this not them admitting they know your search history to a categorical sense? L data mining

Agreeing with this individual. The US has been an oligarchy for a while and late President Carter said it himself “It violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president. And the same thing applies to governors and U.S. senators and congress members. So now we’ve just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election’s over. … The incumbents, Democrats and Republicans, look upon this unlimited money as a great benefit to themselves. Somebody’s who’s already in Congress has a lot more to sell to an avid contributor than somebody who’s just a challenger.”

Most are wanting an end to this current system so they’ll ‘play’ it out knowing albeit the struggle, Democracy has left the building and late stage capitalism is showing the disparity of the predators and preys of society
