How is Proton a US-controlled company?
Yes, how is Proton a US controlled company? At least in the German Wikipedia they sound like a group of saints.

>(though currently a little bit less marked) Again this is a false equivalence, 'a little less marked' isn't close to imparting the true state of things and to be honest a little disingenuous. The EU is not in full motion to dismantle democracy across her 27 states. The US should it not turn this around in the midterms is finished as a liberal democracy. So 'ah yes but Hungary' doesn't persuade me even though I'll co…

EU did not force Romania. Romania itself annulled them because Russian intervention happened.
Re: Migrating to the EU
#263As a Canadian, I’ve been thinking since last year about migrating to non-US services and applications. My main goal is simply to avoid giving money or data directly to US corporations. I have no illusions, these non-US services probably still benefit US companies in some ways. They’re rare, but I’ve consciously decided to stay away from some Canadian alternatives. The main customers of most Canadian tech companies ar…
> Next, I’m thinking of moving away from Google Photos. I’m considering pCloud for that. Maybe try Immich?
Seconded.

#264I did the same! The only problem with this is the uptime of codeberg.org, it sucks haha, but that is not a problem for me. I have not critical services there.

#265> First, I tried mailbox.org, which I can generally recommend without reservation. Unfortunately, you can’t send emails from any address on your own domain without a workaround I use mailbox for a long time, one account for 2.50EUR/month with multiple custom domains and I can send emails from any address. To send from a different address the process didn't really seem different than other providers. From Thunderbird…
Works for me as well.
Re: Migrating to the EU
#266How comfortable are you guys with the fact that EU countries allow prosecutors and sometimes even police officers to issue their own search warrants without meaningful judicial review? Some EU courts will not exclude illegally obtained evidence either, so challenging the warrant later on will be pointless. Oh, and you might be in a reasonable EU country and still be hit with an EIO from one of the unreasonable countr…
US legal protections do not apply to EU citizens keeping their data in the US, do they? So what's the point of this comparison, since if I host my data in the US they don't need a warrant at all?
They don't, they don't even apply to EU citizens keeping their (our, in fact) data on our (EU's servers) if what we're doing happens to cross some interests of the US Government. I mean, there are some legal "protections" in place for that, but notice the quotes. Thinking otherwise is delusional, but, hey, people should be allowed to enjoy the liberty of their slightly larger iron bird-cage.

So what? Can you point to a real example where this has been abused or are we discussing hypotheticals?
You can look at past ECHR decisions for countless cases of abuse by various national governments. You can look at the history of EAW related litigation also, it'll probably prove most informative. Executing states used to constantly deny requests due to judicial review, rules were clarified to remove the possibility of judicial review by executing states.

I was expecting you might have a relevant example that applies to this discussion.

I’m in the US and generally pretty level-headed. Nothing makes me become a red-blooded patriot nationalist temporarily faster than seeing Europeans completely ignore the similarities in our political ills. It always boils down to, “but it’s the good kind of authoritarianism we have that preserves social order!!!” as if that has never failed to produce desired results. Thanks for being much more rational. We have a co…
Sorry what? While there are right wing idiots in various governments in the EU, the Trump admin is on a completely different level. Also the bosses of big tech are clamouring over each other to s** him off. I’m not particularly patriotic or bothered about nations in general, but the yanks can go take a hike.
Man this whole article and your comment just makes me picture that meme with the fat guy open-mouth drinking from a pipe labelled "media".
By the way, sex him off? Trying to decipher the number of characters
