It's the socialist salute, which he has absolutely no right to use.

I guess for me would be 3-4 months in covid lockdown, 2020. I live by myself in proximity to family, but some of that family were vulnerable so I wasn't taking any chances. Not a nice time.

Is this the story from a week or so ago re-reported or has he said something else?

As a non-American I don't normally care about US politics or what "literally half of America" think but I am concerned with far-right politics spilling over in to my country. So I would naturally want to resist organisations aligning themselves with those politics, whether they are scandalous to Americans or not.

Why the surprise? My first thought on seeing this was there must be a lot of Australia or New Zealand answers due to the relative geographic isolation of Australia and New Zealand in relation to the rest of the first world.

I've always had it as a backup email so it'll be relatively straight forward to gradually migrate. I meant more in terms of its security/privacy reputation and whether or not a CEO has said/done anything concerning.

I've been (gently) persuading my friends and family to move away from meta platforms for years; until now mostly they don't care about the concerns I have and obviously I can't make them. Now (this week) is the first time I feel like they're starting to listen so I'm cautiously optimistic. I know a few people who have left Twitter in the last year having been big users (myself being one of them), hopefully the same reasoning will resonate with them again.

I'm the reverse of you actually, as a child it never occurred to me that you could just build the mouse trap without playing the game. So I exclusively played it properly and now I feel a bit stupid.
