Please criticize the us government for this as hard as I have been criticizing China for locking it's citizens out of the world stage with their "great firewall".

They're shutting down instead of blocking new downloads, seems like a stunt. But the blocking of new downloads is obviously happening if SCOTUS doesn't step in...that's the law. That's just what the law says.
The law prevents other American companies from hosting their infrastructure so they don't really have much to do other than shut down and offer the minimum required to off-board employees and contractors.
get a vpn (that isn't proton) now people cause it'll only get worse
How come not proton? Did they get caught with their hands in the ~~cookie jar~~ traffic logs?
CEO honestly thinks Trump and the Republicans are going to go after tech monopolies. Either he's detached from reality or he's trying to keep them from coming after Proton by cooperating. Either way is not great.
and cozying up to american gov no matter who it is just gives me bad vibes that they would happily turn over anything they want when asked
Zuckerberg is behind it, just like he was when they banned it on India. Politicians get what they want by eliminating a company that doesn't support them, Meta gets more usershare in the U.S. they can control the narrative and keep their guys in place so they don't get regulated and they get more tax breaks.
In other words, the US government exists solely to serve its wealthiest constituents.
Meanwhile China says no American internet sites in their country and I guess that’s ok for some reason.
who said it was ok?
It's ok because USA is doing it too. Every state, every politician is basically the same. It's all about violent control of the planet. These apps are just the tip of the iceberg.
