Yeah
I agree with the misworded commenter
Europe ditches US Based tech and software for stuff they control, so they can better enforce their insane privacy invasion laws better more like
Let's not forget most of the swill age verification legislation around the globe is originating from the EU, and that privacy/encryption focused software groups are fleeing the region (see proton) due to their mallegislation
Proton is leaving Switzerland afaik, to operate in the EU. You’re not wrong about the shit the EU is trying to pull with mass surveillance and de-anonymization. Yeae fornyear it geta struck down by courts, but the fuckers try and try.
i'm sorry you have a typo, "the west" is not written "the globe"
