Even if they are backtracking with egg on their face, this is good. Maybe better. Now they know they can’t get away with this stuff.

Not now anyway, now it’s just laying in wait.

Every company does this, they put out a trial balloon, see how badly it tests, and then just wait for the right time when nobody notices. Usually during real crises in the world.

I hate how right you are.

When I dropped LastPass I found Bitwarden and liked them mainly because of the open source. I pay them for the software so that it can remain free and open. If that stopped, I would also stop paying them for it.

Same here, I dont need the paid version. I pay so they can keep their free version free for peoppe who cant pay.

Knowing VC funding came and now this debucle got me spooked.

Same, I specifically paid for premium to do my part in ensuring they don’t need VC funding :(
