@jfr_1980@mastodon.social @lineageos @keepandroidopen@techhub.social Yet all of those are largely made with US tech. You're going to need to avoid the Snapdragon, the Linux kernel and a massive amount of other tech if you want to avoid technology primarily made and controlled within the US. A company being geographically located within the US doesn't mean the components and software they're using aren't largely US tech.
Europe is leading the charge on age verification, cracking down on end-to-end encryption, etc. not the US.

@jfr_1980@mastodon.social @lineageos @keepandroidopen@techhub.social The EU passed Chat Control in a somewhat watered down form but it still passed. It's not going to be the end of it. We wouldn't feel very comfortable if we were based in the EU. We had to leave France and French providers entirely to protect our users because they've gone after organizations for providing secure devices before and started threatening to do the same to us due to GrapheneOS protecting devices from commercial exploit tools.
