@troed The distinction I’m making is that simply choosing a solution that is geographically closer does not ensure that the solution provider will act in your favor while they control access (I’m seeing many takes saying that choosing European tools is the answer for example, but that only minimises some aspects of risk, far from all of it). I’m simultaneously trying to make a general point about becoming dependent on a subscription-based commercially-owned tool for living an autonomous life. I could certainly have been more clear but sometimes I do just throw my thoughts out there :)
