Certainly Van Der Leyen. I suggest you show up for next EU election if you don't like the option.
Clearly you have no idea how the head of EC is chosen. Because of the two only Trump was actually elected by the people.
The next election is in 2029. I suggest you show up instead of spreading fabrications online.

A parliamentary process where a law is being proposed, amended and voted upon isn't "corruption". Just because you disagree with a law, that doesn't make it "corruption" - it does make you an authoritarian that attacks democracy as soon as other people don't vote like you want.
Chat control 1 was rejected by the parliament and then passed anyway because parliament doesn't matter. Hardly democratic.
Please stop spreading fabrications - even when you dislike the result. That's fascist behaviour.

Not nearly the same thing. Trump and his family have made billions. I cannot say the same of von der Leyen.
Which of those two leaders were elected by the people?
Nice, as a European customer, I appreciate this. Side note, I moved to Fastmail a couple years ago, and so far I’ve been very happy with it! The Gmail migrator works great, too.
Love them, but I wish they had a way to upload new sieve rules via an API. I'm probably going to try them with my own domain at some point since I think they have an option to just deliver all mail bound for that domain, which makes setting up random emails for dodgy sites really easy.
Useless. US companies have to get EU citizen's data on request. They can and must do so. Only non-US companies can ignore US data requests.
EU folks, note the warnings threaded throughout this post: this is not currently any sort of panacea against US or AU data hosting risks, but it will make your data noticeably closer to home. Fastmail (Australia) merged with Pobox (Philadelphia) resulting in a complex tri-national law/risk surface when the EU is involved, so go in eyes wide open having read this in full. That everyone will overinterpret “EU data regi…
I think it's not unreasonable to see this as a first, positive, step. It's certainly giving them some benefit of the doubt, but it doesn't seem unreasonable that, say, the EU server and the US backup will in some time be an EU server and an EU backup.

Nah, it’s just more visible. It’s not that much of a sea change. And it’s ridiculously naive to pretend that the major countries in Europe don’t have their own mechanisms to regularly and effectively bypass any democratic inconveniences when necessary. They regularly push through things that no constituent would ever want or vote for.
Meanwhile the President sits in the Oval Office and says, in a televised interview, with absolutely no shame, that all of his kids and family are insider trading, all the time.
(At least that's what people keep telling me, im not a lawyer)

True. Australia is part of the Five Eyes alliance. Fastmail is an Australian company. Australia also has the Assistance and Access Act - https://havenmessenger.com/blog/posts/australia-assistance-a... - which just stops shy of asking Australian tech companies, like Fastmail, to build backdoors into their products so that the government can "legally access" data from them. (When the law passed, Fastmail lost many clie…
> just stops shy of asking Australian tech companies, like Fastmail, to build backdoors into their products so that the government can "legally access" data from them It stops just short of saying that you must do this preemptively , but is pretty clear that you must do it if they ask you to.
I admit it is a concern, as a Fastmail user, but this discussion only seems to happen on the Fastmail threads, yet no one bats an eye if one is suggested to open a gmail account like everybody else.
