> We need to wake the fuck up in the EU and start aggressively building European-based competitors to US tech companies that actually respect user privacy. A good area to start would be in the data storage industry We are US based, but provably private cloud storage is the thesis of our company. All data is encrypted on the client machine, the keys stay on the client machine, and then the encrypted data is remotely stored across about 50 providers (using erasure coding, the actual redundancy overhead is relatively small) to minimize the impact that any single provider or even any single continent of providers can have on your data's accessibility or uptime. It's also 100% open source. https://github.com/NebulousLabs/Sia
In Trump order strips privacy rights from non-U.S. citizens
Sia: siacoin.com github.com/NebulousLabs/Sia We're ultimately trying to build a decentralized object store Platform, but our initial approach is a desktop application. We're hoping that the majority of embedded and streamed content on the web is stored on and fetched from our Platform.
