Laws and policies are different. The Trump administration takes much more extremist views towards laws on the books making their internal policies much worse (in most cases).

Admirable but there are a couple things to consider. Take fashion for example. Yes, H&M and Zara are European owned but (I’m assuming) near zero of their production is done in Europe, and instead in poor/developing countries. In my opinion, it sort of defeats the point. As an American, I’d love to support European brands that keep their production local.

Rewatching 1983 from Poland and the timing is perfect.

Do you know how Graphene helps to protect privacy in case someone takes it to make a copy (ie TSA)? I’m an American living outside the US and I don’t have anything to hide (while at the same time respecting my own right to free speech and privacy) but it freaked me out when I learned morning that US immigration can make a copy of your personal phone if you don’t allow them to view your social media accounts. I’m interested in moving over from iOS to Graphene this year.

Seems like too little too late. There are other, more established privacy-oriented platforms in more privacy-respecting countries.

It was always Pelosi calling the shots (for better or worse). Schumer was always there as a fundraiser.

As an American... don't cave. Boycott US products even if your countries give in. Otherwise we'll never learn our lesson.

As an American living abroad, I support this message. I’ve already moved over 90% of my SaaS subs to Euro alternatives. Hardware will take a while. Other day to day stuff has been quite easy.
