NOYB have a good write up about how they came to the agreement by using this simple trick, the EU and US have different definitions of the word "proportionate" but the US's definition is undisclosed...

Online ads, they were so annoying to deal with, I tried Adblock (don't use it) then ABP (don't use it) then finally I found UBlock Origin (absolutely use this) and just seeing the amount of unnecessary connections on every single website annoyed me even more. On mobile I used Adaway and looking at the logs for that annoyed me so much I switched to LineageOS.

I "upgraded" to windows 10 and I couldn't deal with how annoying it was with all the bloatware and random notifications so I switched to linux

Proton only started logging his IP after they were legally forced to do so, just like any other law abiding company would have to do.

Proton offers an onion site of Protonmail which the activist should have been using since he allegedly committed

theft and property damage, crimes - the latter two - that enable surveillance

this is a case of user error and bad opsec, not a company bending over backwards to share their users information. If you're going to do things that are likely going to get you arrested, no matter how noble the cause, make sure you have excellent OpSec

What's new, Snowden blew the whistle over a decade ago now. Taxpayer's money being used to fund mass surveillance.

And now more recently taxpayer's money being used to buy their information from private companies all in the name of national security.

They want to ban TikTok because they don't want a government entity from harvesting their data but its fine when the US government does it because they always paint themselves as the good guys and not as the biggest and longest running group of international terrorists ever...

Pretty sure Reddit can't ban people for promoting/linking to competitors sites as there is EU regulations in place to prevent this.

This issue was raised when Twitter tried to stop people from linking to their Mastodon accounts. Twitter put the policy in place and then quietly removed it soon after.

If you really believe that you were banned for promoting Lemmy then you should mention this in your appeal but as others have mentioned it seems like the issue was spam.

And sure maybe they were waiting for any reason they could get to ban you because you were promoting Lemmy and they got you on spam, always gotta read the contract/TOS to make sure the other party doesn't get you on a technicality
