The good ol’ everyone on the Internet is American fallacy.
- kube-system 2y agoThe good ol' media talks about it happening in America so it must only happen in America fallacy. ISPs can be compelled to divulge data in most places around the world.
- jedberg 2y agoThis thread is specially about the USA so I didn’t feel the need to clarify that I’m obviously only talking about the USA.
- oefrha 2y agoThe article isn’t specifically about the USA (the word “American” appeared once in “American English” when explaining the name Pi-hole). The CharlesW comment doesn’t mention the USA. The nik282000 comment says NextDNS is a U.S. company so U.S. government will have access to the data, it never said it’s only a concern for American users. I don’t know where you got the idea that this thread is specially about the USA. In fact, I assume the nik282000 comment is mostly for non-American users.
- oliwarner 2y agoThis thread is about the dangers of using a US-based service provider. People outside the US can use it.
