Leaving America
20 th of January 2025 was a dark day indeed for USA. The new leadership has made it clear how much they contempt it’s citizens.
By ignoring the Senate, Congress and the Constitution this new management has declared it’s ability to ignore democracy.
The leading Tech companies has not failed to pledge allegiance to the new king. These companies has in the past proved time and again how their record-keeping systems “leaks” user-data and that it’s coined as “the new oil”.
Every day you contribute with your input to these companies you put yourself in more danger by exposing yourself. You are also contributing to their profit. Don’t do that. By leaving, you are stating that this is not OK.

Once you remove your account, why not check if there is an European alternative?
Following is a compilation of companies, services, products I can think of that are related to USA. If applicable a replacement is listed. For some more than one, depending on how much time you’d like to spend on the migration. The first step should be to quit altogether.
The list will be maintained and updated.
