I mean, tbf the situation was fine until the US transitioned to an autocracy, and the companies went full surveillance state evil, completely supporting the autocracy. Which is a relatively recent development.

Most places here are working as fast as possible to decouple from any reliance on the US, and I would expect Norway to switch to the new EU digital ID system currently in development.

- hparadiz 4mo agoAs a natively Russian speaking Jew born in Crimea I really don't need any lectures on democracy from someone who ran away to Europe at the height of it's American enforced century of stability.

It took the US to save Ukraine from the Russians and while the entire EU was waffling and talking about "escalation" we were actually doing something about it.
