Governments all around EU, as well as the EU itself, are fighting hard against privacy, free thought and communications.

If you or your company stores user’s personal information, make sure to use tech infrastructure from outside the EU!

    Funny that they are complaining about a restriction put in place by Google that they have no control over. So either Google already backdoored Pixels for them or more likely they know they can just bully FOSS devs without direct legal repercussions…

        I think the majority of voters support this behaviour. Most people would gladly give away their privacy for the promise that the bad other (be it racial, economical, religious, … whomever you want to scapegoat) will be hurt, too.

          How do you make such an inference? This is a divisive rhetoric out of the blue that is echoing anti-democratic propaganda aimed at sowing division among society.

        Latin America, Africa - there’s not a huge amount of tech coming out of there.

        Asia - they’re definitely not any better.

        Honestly, at the moment, Europe is probably the best source despite definitely still having significant problems (I’m looking at you, lawmakers who are trying to push through chat control).

          That’s opportunity! Glass halve full :) When it comes to renting infrastructure, there’s plenty of options in Latam and Asia. I haven’t looked at Africa to be honest.

          Asia - they’re definitely not any better

          Japan, Taiwan, S. Korea are in asia too. It’s not just China and Vietnam.

          significant problems

          The lack of free speech laws in EU is also a very big problem. EU cares very little for the individual’s rights.
