The European Commission today decided it is safe for personal data to be transferred from the European Union to US-based companies, handing a victory to firms like Facebook and Google despite protests from privacy advocates who worry about US government surveillance.

What an horrible decision, trusting the US to enforcer privacy regulations is quite frankly ridiculous.

Another victory for big tech companies. I have degoogled, deleted Facebook and Twitter accounts. Run pihole/unbound on my network, use mullvad browser, block all windows telemetary. Just working out what to do next.
