Yes, and the jurisdiction counts too. I still don’t understand for example, why Wikipedia still is based in the US, when there are much freer options.
And… even with surveillance, I think police needs a reform. Right now cops are biased in favour of repressive forces, to dismantle liberty and order, in favour of chaotic surveillance.
There are no good reasons for pervasive government surveillance. Especially not without a warrant. Fuck that shit. It’s all about control.
Depends on your threat model. Generally, whichever country can harm you most, (eg. your residence country, or a privacy-disrespecting one like the USA and China), are to watch out for. Remove those.
And in case you’re forced to still pick one of either… have burner phones, focused each on a different country. So if your threat is the US, go for China, and vice versa. After all, the US hates China, and vice versa. So if you’re looking up stuff that would be illegal in the US but legal in China, that would best be done on a burner for China; after all, China supports enemies of the USA. And vice versa.
Personally I’d say the following ones would be (relatively) good. Good as well is to reduce dependency on a single country, and to compartmentalise your searches. Use a paid VPN and a privacy-respecting browser like LibreWolf.
The more you spread it, the better. Also a good tip, be active at different hours. Not always afternoon, or whatever. Watch your user agent and try to combat deep packet inspection.
And the CLOUD act then? Doesn’t the US require a backdoor for a lot of stuff?
I’m paranoid of the fascists.
Mojeek is British, not EU. But it’s good privacy wise.
For a Startpage alternative, Qwant exists (which is very good). But it’s not as good for privacy.
Yandex is supported by the fascist, imperialist Russian mafia state.
I’d recommend self-hosted SearXNG instead.
Remember when someone posted Musk’s (public) flight data? When Musk said anything could be public?
And then Musk removed the flight data.
Rules for thee but not for me. They’re bloody hypocrites.
A true People’s Republic would have less surveillance noncence than this.
The UK is a literal 1984 in the works.
Russia annexed Crimea, has military operations in other countries, is currently invading Ukraine with the goal of conquering it, and has Belarus and Transnistria as puppet states, as well as Ossetia and Abchazia. And not to mention, it’s spreading its poison of fascism abroad to Hungary (yet another puppet state) and Trump is bootlicking Putler’s shrimp dick.
You can deny what you want, but the harsh truth doesn’t care.
The only good fascist is a dead one, point said.
