I think soc 2 type ii is nice, but I also don’t think it really says much about privacy in the context of me trusting what a business will do with my personal data. its been 4 or so years since if done an soc audit, so please correct me if I’m wrong. From what I recall its primarily geared toward security in general and when they say privacy, they mean securing your data from use unauthorized by the business.

The distinction im making here is that, from what I recall, soc 2 type ii says nothing about what can be done with your data (e.g. selling data to brokers, training ai, targeting ads, unclear/communicated eula changes, etc.). During these, and most other, security audits you can make business arguments as to why you should be exempt from various security mechanism or configs. These systems also don’t protect from techno fascist douchebaggery like feeding the government information on individuals without warrant or just cause, to assist in targeting minorities or activists for example.

To be clear, I use proton, I think its great, and MOSTLY trust them with my data. I do also like that they got soc 2 type ii, i wasnt aware till now so thanks for the heads up. I’m not accusing or trying to infer any wrong doing either. Mostly trying to point out this doesn’t resolve potential abuses some folks may have concerns about after ceo/board member/whateverthefuckingtitleis drama.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk…

That or more likely kernel panic.

I was wondering why I couldn’t find mine. I figured I just had short term memory loss.

There are companies that make you watch anti union propaganda as part of orientation. They also pay tons of money to bust up any attempts at unionization. The disinformation thats pushed put about unions is baffling. Anything from its communism to the unions steal your money. Its not super surprising to me at this point.

On the flip side all the wealthy actors are union… Says a thing or two…

Login to your credit card portal and check if they have it. I noticed mine has it as a free service now.

If your in the US you can tell them you’ll report them to the FTC and fcc as unsolicited spam text messages that have no means to opt out. They must provide a means to stop receiving text messages per can spam act. If they refuse you report them and then they face 50k in fines per message. You also get to have federal record at least that you didn’t want the text messages. You could also file a police report. The cops may roll their eyes, but just tell them you just want something on record that the former number owner waa a shady character and want to avoid any potential legal issues in the future for having their number and getting weird calls or texts.
