> We need to wake the fuck up in the EU and start aggressively building European-based competitors to US tech companies that actually respect user privacy. A good area to start would be in the data storage industry
We are US based, but provably private cloud storage is the thesis of our company. All data is encrypted on the client machine, the keys stay on the client machine, and then the encrypted data is remotely stored across about 50 providers (using erasure coding, the actual redundancy overhead is relatively small) to minimize the impact that any single provider or even any single continent of providers can have on your data's accessibility or uptime.
It's also 100% open source.

- BuuQu9hu 10y agoHow does your offering compare to hosted Tahoe-LAFS providers like Least Authority [1] or Matador Cloud [2]? Tahoe-LAFS also encrypts client-side and uses erasure coding to improve availability; however, it is also based on capability theory, which means that one can both prove Tahoe-LAFS' security guarantees in isolation, but also use Tahoe-LAFS as a building block for more complex capability-based systems.
