I’m in the process of moving all my cloud things away from American businesses. It’s either European alternatives (like netcup for hosting) or self-hosting. Just ripped my audible collection after canceling it. Already got rid of a lot of other things. Currently, I do not see the US as an ally.
I’m very glad to hear that. I think it will long term be good for users and other companies (in that one sense, America going crazy isn’t good for anyone). Smaller non American companies will be getting more business and it will make the market more competitive. A lot of these other companies will maybe be more incentivized to prioritize privacy because it’s cheap to offer and a good selling point. I also think companies will see that supporting a fascist regime is not actually making them rich and they will be less likely to support far right candidates elsewhere.
