> Samuel Bendahan, a Socialist member of parliament, told RTS that he shares Proton’s concerns about state overreach but dislikes the firms tactics. “I never like it when companies try to pressure Switzerland or its people with money,” he said. “In a democracy, the right way is to argue, not threaten to leave.” Allowing firms to dictate policy by brandishing relocation threats, he warned, “is the worst possible outcome—for democracy itself.”
Yeah, well, if the fundamental value proposition to my business is privacy, and YOU threaten to nuke that privacy, I'm not the one making threats ... YOU are! YOU are threatening my business, and you have no right to my investment or my efforts to keep it going. That's a fundamental of business anywhere in the world: you go where you're appreciated most. Even to this day, Microsoft is technically an Irish corporation for it's low corporate tax. Every day, every Socialist makes it their first priority to remind everyone around them how fucking ignorant they are about the world.
