Things like the Git hosting provided by this Space thing sounded pretty good for EU-based users, as Jetbrains is a company registered in the Czech Republic.
Unfortunately, their FAQ on privacy states that all of the data will be stored in Amazon AWS, so from the privacy perspective this is no improvement over Github or Gitlab.
- jen20 4y agoIf you think that Amazon are reading customer data, you are utterly crazy. Privacy is multi dimensional. If the US government wants access to your stuff, all the EU hosting in the world is not going to stop them.
- severino 4y agoI don't think I said Amazon is, or isn't, reading customer data. Nobody knows. As an EU citizen, I just prefer my data to be handed by an European company inside an European country, as I wouldn't want my data to be in China, handed by Baidu, if I was an American citizen.
- skinnymuch 4y agoWhy would the China thing matter? Having the NSA etc have data on me is no good. I am American. I have nothing to do with China. The country will never matter personally to me or my life.
- morelisp 4y ago> Privacy is multi dimensional. > If the US government wants access to your stuff, all the EU hosting in the world is not going to stop them. These statements are at odds. The first is true, invalidating the second. If the NSA wants to read my email because they think I'm involved in a terrorist bombing plot, sure, I'm burned on any provider. If the FBI wants to read my email for pretty much any reason, they'll have to send a warrant which can be addressed in my local court rather than just go through FISA or the CLOUD Act. If some podunk Texas DA wants to see if I've visited an abortion doctor in France, if the service provider's in the US there's a decent chance for a warrant. If it's in the EU, go pound sand you fuckers.
