> Many Americans exist that do not carry the opinion of their government, as do many Russians. I can’t speak for Russia because I have no data, but most Americans don’t carry the opinion of this government.

If that is the case, how did this government get a majority?

> how did this government get a majority?

That's not what people voted for (agreeing with the government). They were given choices and to pick what they felt they preferred.

Could we avoid politics on the tech scene? I think we're all better than that, and we know the tech scene thrives through collaboration, not isolationism.

> Could we avoid politics on the tech scene?

In the situation we are in currently? It's almost impossible unfortunately due to our political leaders.

Not every european company embodies european values. As an example, Signal is listed as a US company people might want a european replacement for – and yet Signal represents european values much better than many of the alternatives.

What are European values, actually? I don't think there is a lot that all member state citizens actually share, except for a lot of wishful thinking.

>What are European values, actually?

We accept that each European country people are equal, we agree to collaborate and not screw each others for land.

Also we in majority are against fascism,racism and discrimination though social media managed to make a portion of idiots to hate LGBTQs and wokes so they want they adopted fascist values. We as citizens we re doing our best to fight aginst this fascists groups.

And before some MAGA will calim that right wing extemists are not fascists, I remind you that supporting assassinations, deportations, killings while at the same time pretending to be Christian is fascist (at least in my country, in USA might be labeled different)

It’s so iconic that they have a cookie banner covering 60% of my phone screen.

BUT, and this is important, there is a big clear "Reject all" button.

My problem with cookie banners isn't their mere existence, but that the scum if the earth make it almost impossible to reject data collection.

I'm not sure that's the best example, as Signal places a strong emphasis on personal freedoms which is _not_ particularly representative of European values at this time.

Yeah, you can't be a nazi in Europe, promoting political assasination and genocide has consequences there,

What are "European Values"? Are they identical to the values of the EU, that are in section 2 of the Treaty of European Union:

    "The Union is founded on the values of respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and respect for human rights, including the rights of persons belonging to minorities."[1]
Also, did all the listed companies sign a codex that they will adhere to those values?

And finally, in which way do non-European companies, for example Amazon, violate those values?

>Not every european company embodies european values. What even are "European values"? Is there such thing? Every EU country I know has varying values to the other members, that's why we have separate borders, languages, religions, cultures and laws with autonomy over them. The EU is not one-nation one-culture like the US, but an org that doesn't impose any kind of universal values across the different diverse member…

Please don't conflate Europe (the continent) and the European Union.

Correct. E.g. Russia is on the European continent.

By size, they provide a lot of both European and Asian values.
