The intative promises to be privacy-friendly with no tracking. Stating:

Will be interesting to see how this spans and plays out in reality. Looks promising too, did a quick scan of their builtin permissions and trackers and looks good too. (Scanning tool is called Exodus)

        There are tons of things the EU is doing well, dude.

        From resisting the technocapitalist rethoric of the US, to standing up against imperial bullies like Russia.

        I’m not saying it is perfect, nothing is. But sometimes it feels like the EU is the only reasonable beacon in a sea of corruption.

          The EU only cares about blocking the private sector from getting their citizen’s data. They actively harm privacy when it’s about government access
