I… very much do not like this. But the reality is that tech companies are FULL of libertarian tech bro types who only care about “policy” as it equates to their bottom line. And a LOT of companies are going to suck up to trump in the hopes of not being made an example of by the wannabe mafia administration. And the follow up response is still bullshit but it is useful idiot bullshit, if that makes sense.
They do a lot of business in the US and would likely not want to get banned at a time when people are genuinely looking for a VPN that doesn’t pretend it will fight off seal team six for you or an email service that isn’t run by google.
Rossman has straight up chud vibes from when he was ranting about the situation where someone was allegedly screaming slurs at a delivery person through their amazon doorbell.
Also he is a guy who had to flee NYC because he couldn’t run a business with regulations and instead go to Texas (?).
What happened there? I didn’t know he left NYC, I used to pass off more difficult electronics repairs to that string of repair shops near Mott st, where he was also based.
Not sure of a good summary of it since the outlets that acknowledge rossman tend to joke about how angry he is and then avoid doing any actual business with him.
But he did a vlog style video or two about how he is a failure as a business person but it is actually New York’s fault and having a business in NYC is impossible and blah blah blah and he is moving to Texas. He still tries to keep his mask up for the most part (expect that to change REAL soon…) but… people don’t move a business from NYC to Texas (and yes, Austin is still Texas…) if they care about workers’ rights…

Gonna look for alternatives but not optimistic.
I could almost excuse that if they were American, but they are Swiss, as is Andy.

Louis Rossmann also has “Libertarian” vibes… 😖

Yeah that smells pretty bad re: Texas of all places. Ugh.
