At least EU still has some sort of values.
I won't be traveling to the US soon, unless I really need to.
- raxxorrax 7y agoI think the EU currently has much worse ambitions for digital spaces that makes the US truly the beacon of the free world again. I host private services withing the EU because of sensible privacy protections but for anything with public content, I would pick something far, far away. Some member states already banned and sanctioned people for jokes. There is just one direction from here and it fits neatly into European patterns of past mistakes. There are also monetary interests in sanitizing certain spaces of the net and that is welcome honey for our current political class on any side of the political spectrum. Nope, the probability of good digital policies from within Europe is pretty low.
- piva00 7y agoThe principle of data privacy and rights is really much more important than pointy policies, it's an underlying foundation and framework of thinking how data should be treated with safeguards for you, as an individual, to be more in control of it. The EU has a lot of flaws as it's so massive and pervasive but saying that the US is the beacon of the free world makes me think you have been living under a rock for a while.
