We don't need to 'abolish' ICE —‌

Repeal and Replace the 2001 #PatriotAct:

We can end the most egregious parts of our new surveillance state, while restoring actual oversight as we pull the various entities it melded together back apart again.

The #patriotact was the start for the United States, chatcontrol or #prebunking is the same for Europe!
I would argue that #chatcontrol is a leading indicator among many others, that #Europe is in a cultural decline!
The fact that there is so much social complacency, tells me Europe is sick, people don't have the bandwith anymore to handle these macro issues.
#rights are payed with blood and tears, a revolution is coming!

People should have pressured our elected politicians to go against mass surveillance of Americans. Man, fucking Americans love mass surveillance. This is what Americans deserve for not fighting against the Patriot Act after 9/11.

@androidul Strictly speaking thats still #US... #CloudAct and #PatriotAct still enable the US to coerce and manipulate #Bitwarden, no matter where the data is stored. The #TADPF thats supposed to guarantee #GDPR compliance is worthless.

#European alternatives include (but are not limited to) @protonprivacy @passbolt @keepassxc #passworddepot #uniqkey #heylogin @yubico

@azuidhof Wat denk je? We hebben geen ICE toestanden hier maar Ring blijft van Amazon en ivm #CloudAct en #PatriotAct hebben alle #VS drieletter-diensten toegang tot de gegevens omdat #TADPF een wassen neus is. #nobigtech #unplugtrump GEEN VS aanbieder kan feitelijk voldoen asn #AVG / #GDPR
#TIL: Sketch offers a private cloud for enterprise customers. If you’re on #Figma and #GDPR + #PatriotAct + #CLOUDAct cause you headaches and unknown financial risk in the form of fines, you should consider #Sketch.
Bei einem Wechsel von Google zu Proton sollte man bedenken, dass #Proton eine Zweigstelle in den USA hat. Vermutlich gelten damit die entsprechenden Gesetz (z.B. #PatriotAct) auch für Proton.
Zudem sind die Vorschriften in der Schweiz in den vergangenen Monaten aus Datenschutzsicht deutlich schlechter geworden.

Ich glaube, es gibt bessere Alternativen aus Deutschland:

Für den 2-Faktor möchte ich eine Lanze für ente.io brechen:
* #^https://ente.io/auth/

Als VPN-Anbieter möchte ich Mullvad empfehlen, vor allem wegen der einfach Preisstruktur und der sinnvollen Trennung von Account und Bezahlung:
* #^https://mullvad.net/de/pricing

E-Mail, Passwort-Manager und VPN aus einer Hand sind verlockend, aber aus meiner Sicht auch gefährlich. Sollte es bei Proton mal einen "Vorfall" geben, sind die Zugangsdaten für alle diese Dienste im schlimmsten Fall "offen".

Always keep this in mind:

#Cheney was a key architect of 2001's #PatriotAct that radically shifted the balance between state and #citizens in terms of #privacy.
Cheney was a key architect of the #usvsthem populist nonsense that further deepened societal #division.
You do not get a nickname such as #DarthVader without being a profoundly evil actor.

Cheney helped build the same slippery slope that #democracy and the #ruleoflaw find themselves on in 2025 in the #UnitedStates. #civicrights

Also, use a trusted #VPN. For heaven's sake, don't use #ExpressVPN. And be very careful with WhatsApp or anything from #Meta, as well as everything that uses unified push. Try to avoid #BigTech in general #patriotact
