Plain burner flip phone and a wifi only Linux device that connects to a hotspot. F google and Apple.

Made with low end hardware

My signal chats will all start with:

-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----

Soon, I'm guessing.

This guy should be sued into oblivion by shareholders.

I am feeling like this is just a big distraction from all sides. "We" are being easily played. All these files have been in the hands of both sides and neither have released them. Either they are all hiding things or there isn't actually anything beyond the sicko JE.

Just one more wedge between the citizens (I don't know you but I hate you) to occupy us while "they" do something else. The uniparty is real.

That's true but it's either that or accept a Google or Apple phone. It's what I do and I love not having instant reply expectation placed on me.

It's like the good ole days before cell phones. 😂

It also allows me to significantly improve my personal privacy.

I'm all for anarchy but then those with the bigger guns win and the US government has the bigger guns. 😂

Maybe the nordic countries come the closest but I'll wait to see how electronic privacy (chat control) unfolds

I know there has to be a logical reason for this but I'm very uneducated in this so I'll ask. How can a government in one county impact the running of a business in another?

If I have a website in Canada that charges for classes in knitting and Brazil detemines they don't want people under 18 learning how to knit, can they force me to make changes? Why can't I just ignore them? If Brazil then blocks my domain, I can just give VPN instructions.

More questionable then, you know, directly funding the country bombing Ukrainians?

Your brain will thank you!

Yet many countries are getting closer to China and being cheered on by many of the hate the US people.

Shouldn't EU countries do something to stop Russia?

Why didn't Biden release the files?

It's still possible to ship DHL Express from Germany

The headline wouldn't be as good if that were included though. 🤷🏻

We should be working to get more people to use XMPP rather than signal, Whatsapp, etc.

Again, DHL, FedEx, and UPS all can accept the payment. Just like they do for taxes and duties in other countries.

Europe has much more past and current expirence with fascism than Americans so it's understandable

They should just ship things the same way they ship fentanyl. It would be cheaper and faster.

This is BS, FedEx, DHL, and UPS collect duties for other countries just like they do for the US tariffs

EU de minimis does not apply to US imports. Japan is about $70, Australian non resident businesses over $75k of sales need to register and pay GST (10%) regardless of the de minimis, for NZ, the threshold is about $30k and the GST is 15%

Facts.
