The only US service I ever used nowadays is YouTube with extreme ad block ofc
-
that cannot be true.

Is this coming from Wired magazine, aka the press organ of silicon valley? Big wows.
-
when shit really hits the fan europe will lose access to some if not all us based services.
-
This is a weird line in the sand. Instead of focusing on where something is build, shouldnywe focus on technical details and software licenses?
For example, Signal is based in the US, but the app is structured in such a way that they have minimal information: just the creation time and last login, associated with a phone number. That has even been tried in court, and that's literally all they could provide. Telegram is worse technically speaking, but it's headquartered outside the US.
Don't evaluate software based on where it's developed, evaluate it based on what is does and can do in the future.

Some of us are behind paywall. Here is a link to get a full access. https://archive.ph/nV6RS

Qwant is owned by Huawei. Leaving Trumplandia for Xi…
-
Qwant is owned by Huawei.
No it isn't.
Why are you lying like this? What's the goal?
Qwant is based in Paris and its owners are:
- Jean-Manuel Rozan
- Éric Léandri
- Patrick Constant
- Caisse des dépôts et consignations (basically a public investment institution owned by the French government)
- Groupe Axel Springer (an online media company based in Germany)
So again: why did you lie? What's the goal here?
-
Can you back that claim up at all? Qwant is not owned by Huawei. They don't even hold shares as far as I can tell.
-
8 million convertible bounds in a company that hasn’t turned a profit. Sure no risk at all.

Xi isn't going to take me away to special education camps. They can have my data.
-
We are literally watching ICE kidnap people in the USA with legal resident status and deporting them or transferring them to detention centers, and somehow people are downvoting you.
-
The Uyghurs disagree.
-
-
Literally
-
Pretty sure they already have detention centers wjere they send their "unwanted".
-
You do sound special
-
Yet...

Just pirate everything. Problem solved.
Not all online services are streaming media services. There are lots of other US services to get away from.
For example?
Other than apple google and facebook
Edit: Smooth, no examples. Stay classy.
I'd pirate a data center if I could
Id download the whole damn thing, along with a car.
