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.
