I don't think it's disrespectful, but it touches on sex, so I'd probably feel awkward using it in a work meeting?

My immediate thought was having to explain it, haha. Fuuny term but no thanks!

i think it's the implication that the ISP is fking the consumers.

I could see someone perceiving the usage of the word condom in this context as negatively connotated. Its not the word condom that is wrong in itself, its more to do with devaluing a condom and the usage of such.

See, to make a more practical example, if one has sex and uses a condom its not nice to think of it like a subsidiary company that is used to keep off the results of GDPR violations on your behalves. The usage of condoms should IMHO be viewed in a more positive light.

edit: forgot an "of"

It's not the condom that is being perceived negatively, it's the diseases that are.

Condoms, in this usage case are protecting, how can that be negative?

In terms of word shiftage, people literally misuse the word genocide, so how can one be concerned with this positive use of condom?
