I keep hearing that claim, yet it is never backed up by any substantive evidence or actionable advice as to which of these apparently abundant exclusively EU-based services to use for solving a particular problem.
Well, other than the usual Fathom and Plausible, that is. It might come as a surprise to some, but the web and software in general isn't just comprised of analytics.
Just to try and prove myself wrong I searched for a GDPR-compliant EU-based video conferencing tool on that "developed in Europe" site linked to in the article. The only result I got was "api.video - Video APIs for building, scaling and operating on-demand and live streaming videos".
So, because of GDPR I'm now supposed to code and run my own video conferencing service?
- Deukhoofd 5y agoLivestorm.co - Paris Wonder.me - Berlin whereby.com - Oslo (technically not EU, but close enough) That site is just lacking.
- Khalem 5y agoAdding pexip.com to that list as well
- tremon 5y agoIf FOSDEM, a pretty large but fully volunteer-run organization can host their own videos, why can't you?
- BjoernKW 5y agoFirst, I'm not a large organization and I don't have volunteers who do my work for me for free. Secondly, hosting videos is not my core business. The shop around the corner doesn't run its own payment system either, after all. Finally, I don't need to host videos, I need a video conferencing software, which is something entirely different.
