#2Why are we seeing this now? During the Biden administration, the US government colluded with sites like Facebook and Twitter to silence American citizens.
It's about as authoritarian as you can get and not only did the tech community ignore it, they outright supported it.
Sites like Parlor were shutdown over night by companies like Amazon for simply having the wrong politics.

Privacy is a worthy goal but it is too silly to wrap it in this Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Rob Braxman has been teaching privacy, degoogling and what not for a long while without all that political preaching.

If the tide lifts the boat, I guess it's ok? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Trump is the best president Canada and Mexico have had, for decades.
A really healthy dose of nationalism has arisen in both countries. Plenty of proposals for development, that wouldn't have been considered two years ago, are on the table today.
Did you know that Canada has inter-provincial trade barriers (such a dumb thing)? I just did, because of this recent tariff ordeal. Tearing them down is on the table now. Good!
Did you know that Mexico is starting to actually fight against narcos? For 40 years, maybe more, there wasn't even a mention of that in the Mexican Government.

And Trump won't do the same thing?

"It's about as authoritarian as you can get"
Just you wait....

Because this isn't about silencing American citizens. It's about the US actively ceasing to be an at least neutral-to-good global neighbour in trade, tech, and foreign aid that many countries rely on, among other things.
This is something that for many is something they've not yet seen before in their lives (global allegiances shifting like this), and especially something that has not been a partisan issue at least from an outside view.

This is plain wrong. There's literally a Wikipedia page created 18 years ago documenting the well-publicized Mexican Drug War between the Mexican government (supported by various governments) against all the cartels. Literally thousands of soldiers and police killed.

I'm sharing a non-US perspective around the desire to shift away from US tech - but sure, shoot the messenger with downvotes.

Sure pal, you definitely know more things than someone who lived there.
"Source: Wikipedia" as well.
Your comment is everything that's wrong with the "smaht" people of this era.
