There is a growing sentiment that the US shouldn't be relied upon for the technologies that many people and businesses use every day.

While we prefer to focus on technical guarantees like strong end-to-end encryption over matters like jurisdiction, these issues still matter, and the United States certainly does not have a monopoly on the best technologies.

We've compiled a list of some of our favorite and highly recommended European privacy tools, to highlight how easy it can be to take your data back from American Big Tech companies: privacyguides.org/articles/202

As American Big Tech companies continue to flout EU regulations, and the US Government cuts off critical defense technology to Ukraine, there is a growing sentiment that the US shouldn't be relied upon for the technologies that many people and businesses use every day.

I wrote this latest @privacyguides article to highlight some of the many privacy-respecting, European tools that can replace the tech you use every day: privacyguides.org/articles/202

This is telling. First column is survey of US voters on issues of importance to them in order. Second is what they think the Democrat priorities are in order and third is what they think the Republican priorities are in order. Now pretend you are in swing states of the midwest and rust belt. Suddenly the "hold your nose and vote republican" makes sense.

Maps like this one cover up the fact that more than half of white women voted for the Dear Leader. (52% to 54%, depending on whose count you use.) I wonder how many blue states on this map would turn red if the map showed white women's votes only.

You know, I just cannot cope with what the Americans have done - to themselves and to the rest of the world. I’m walking around in a state of barely suppressed rage at the stupidity of it all and the dangerous world they have plunged us into. If it was only themselves to bear the consequences I could manage my sympathy and shake my head. But it’s not and I don’t know now what WE can do to protect ourselves
