I mean.. I guess the will to expeditiously move away from American big tech and their products now is a silver lining to the all that’s going wrong in and with and through the United States.
The concerns are understandable (the US isn’t exactly acting tastefully lately) and we seem to be going towards “net islands” rather than an entire “internet”.
This can only go in a bad direction where information is ultimately centralized and the censorship would be absolute and you now would not be able to hear the smaller relevant voices that you may have needed to hear.
Ahead of any country doing this, we should probably think of a way to continue communicating and talking to others in an underground decentralized way. I have not experienced the BBS days of the yore but I don’t mind experiencing it again to get away from the AI and the noise of the general internet.

Let me guess, giving every employee at lawmaker aide rank or above a PIV card that can store encryption keys is way too hard?
Every government employee should be required to use hardware encryption keys.
But also, not using American servers would have been the cheaper option during the roll out.
