What Risks Are Corporations Really Taking For You [re: BigTech "Encryption" at Scale, LavaBit]

BigTech advertising their deployment of TLS ostensibly to thwart Govt NSA Spy Taps ala Google 641A, thus positioning themselves as grand Saviours to their Users and Society, is a rather laughable story... when they still rampantly Censor, Datamine, Buy/Sell, freely follow the wishes and do the bidding of Politicians and Governments worldwide, can see all the plaintext they want since they own the end service, keep developing and giving away "Insights" to other GovCorps so they can all remain in power over you, and keep deploying centralized non-e2e-encrypted crypto comms "solutions" subject to both spying and seizure and claiming they're "secure". When Corporations and their human heads literally start getting jailed for Freedom, gets extradited, starts getting Civil Forfeitured, blocked from SWIFT, Censored off all Social and Financial and Internet platforms, flees their home country, gets Epsteined, raided and shot at 5AM, takes its server farms refuge into foreign embassies and lands, scraps the "free" advertising sell-you-out model for anonymous cash in the mail and crypto payments, CEOs start big public campaigns talking Libertarian and Privacy Coins, gets their business "license" revoked, fights ever growing Govt power, sues against and refuses Corona lockdowns, donates to privacy and freedom efforts, refuses to Censor, refuses to collect information, refuses to rape the earth, refuses to take Govt and Spy contracts, etc... When Corps start taking the same risks, and incurring the same casualties that the people in the Freedom Privacy Crypto Libertarian P2P Cypherpunk FreeSpeech and whatever related spaces are... that's when people might begin to consider Corps as being even remotely on their side of some issues. Yet among the planet's millions of Corporations and their Heads and Investors, which and who among them have ever taken any such risk and casualty and voice...? 0.0000001%? Is that not sad and dispicable? Till then, all these press releases are nothing more than glowing propaganda meant to fool people and prop up GovCorp even further.
