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.

Chat control 1 was rejected by the parliament and then passed anyway because parliament doesn't matter. Hardly democratic.
That's a lie - chat control was amended and then passed via parliament vote. Please stop spreading fabrications - even when you dislike the result. That's fascist behaviour.
Wow, it's nothing. How about writing your PR after the data is not going to the US at all?

Insider trading is it course not legal for politicians in Germany, as you could have found out without being a lawyer. That being said, transparency/reporting duties for members of parliament/ministers can and should definitely be improved.
The point was that the definition of insider trading does not extend to politicians buying/selling from their "insider knowledge" as it's not internal business knowledge. Hence it is legal (in Germany) for politicians to buy/sell right before passing laws which influence the valuation of companies. Which I may add: you could've easily found out yourself too if you looked up what I wrote.
The issue in America is the president has more power to act unilaterally (maybe to address his/her own interests, maybe not) than any European politician.
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.
I’m using that setup and have no issues with it, for exactly the use-case you mentioned.

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.
Trump just dropped the part of his lawsuit against the BBC where he claimed it damaged his business because he would have to expose what his business is. The Trump regime a way more corrupt than anything currently seen in Europe. He currently attempting to steal Greenland so he can strip it of mineral assets for fucks sack. No politician in Europe is starting wars for personal gain. Only Trump and Putin. https://www.…
Isn't that that basically the history of Europe? A short French or German or English or Roman dude starting a war for personal gain?

That’s not going to help anyone. The Five Eyes is an Anglosphere intelligence alliance comprising Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. These countries are party to the multilateral UKUSA Agreement, a treaty for joint cooperation in signals intelligence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes
Even being stored in EU doesn't preclude your data from being targeted by signals intelligence. Which is different than requiring US based companies to provide non-US data to American government. Does fastmail have a US presence? If no - then they're not bound at all by US jurisdiction.
This hasn't been true for several years. All Australian companies (and UK companies) are under jurisdiction of the US Cloud Act. Just the same as American companies are.

EU data regions are a reflexive action by companies that try to hold on to their EU customers (and more and more are leaving, surprisingly the larger ones seem to be leading here). Realize that as long as you are still hosted on US owned infrastructure or that if there are US (or: five-eyes) owned companies anywhere in the stack your data can still be forcibly pulled and often without you being aware that this happen…
I mean to say, perhaps this is more about customer sentiment and image than something maybe benign to their profits like five eyes involvement.

Can you point me towards some resources that show EU customers moving? Not that I don’t trust the statement, I just would like to know more.
I hope Airbus is large enough for you? https://thenextweb.com/news/airbus-scaleway-aws-sovereign-cl... And many others besides, pretty much every company I've looked at in the last year is either acutely aware of the problem or they are already executing on it. With Trump and his merry band of criminals repeatedly stating they're going to take Greenland by force you can't blame them either, that would effectively put…

The majority of parliamentarians voted against it. This was considered a pass, because it didn't meet some arbitrary threshold to block it.
