Calls for boycotting US products spread in northern Europe
-
I don't find it important what the CEO might or might not believe (and he does not seem to be connected to anything MAGA). If the business and servers are located in the EU I feel much better than if it's held by Google or Microsoft.
Besides, officially, Andy Yen is a strong supporter of data privacy and outspoken regarding the need for a stronger European tech sector, even going as far as calling Europe "and colony of USA" because of our dependence on US tech.

Have already replaced basically all US software products for personal use. Unfortunately work related stuff can't be boycotted yet, but hopefully we can see an improvement there too ASAP. Hardware still from Apple, but will once it becomes time to replace it I will definitely switch to a HMD phone.

Gotten rid of nearly every US digital service I have. Physical stuff I will still probably roll with my Apple devices until they wear out since they're relatively new, but almost all the data and apps are basically European and/or open source services. Work related stuff remains the challenge. Next phone will be HMD.

Yep, I know that for myself. But I can't switch away from github as that is where the huge company I work for has its stuff - and it needs convincing the enterprises, not the individuals.
Personally I just have my own repos which I can move anywhere in an eyeblink. But it takes political power to. move governments, departments and companies.

Do leave a negative review on their app page.

"Don't let perfect be the enemy of good". With changing our grocery and household purchases, cancelling Amazon and Netflix, and looking for alternatives to U.S. products, we are all doing the best we can, and I do believe it will make a difference.

But you can get apple juice and sparkling water, right?

Is it coca cola with extra hair?

I think it will. China has announced sanctions on particular US companies. I'd like to see more of that on Trump-positive businesses.

I use AdNauseam to click all of them instead.

Want to really hurt them?

Uhhh... I don't think I will

Good, fuck the USA and it's garbage products. It'd be harder to do if they weren't shit now, but perpetually cutting quality is basically the USA's motto. Now they are experiencing it in the government.
