The administration is putting tendrils into things, heading toward fascism.
US companies are being forced to bend the knee. Government agencies are sucking up information to be used against people the future or sold at an alarming rate.
If you can find a one to one alternative to a US-based service it’s a really good time to head that way. I know I am.
Maybe not that much more than it already was, though. And Lemmy is going so far to boycott Signal which has been the golden standard for privacy up to this point. While many European countries are passing anti-encryption policies, we are boycotting US without any strong arguments.
I’ve seen as more distrust over matrix/new vector (exposing ID without content) as I have Signal. There’s stink around it being an Israeli government run company in a trenchcoat.
I think most of it is as baseless as anything said about signal, but at least they have real incidents that make matrix questionable.

Who is boycotting signal?
People have been pushing Matrix and Element over Signal.

Agreed. I think it’s important to differentiate American organizations that are and are not part of the problem.
