Comment on How to Avoid US-Based Digital Services—and Why You Might Want To

  Other than three of the largest tech companies in the world that encompass services from social media to maps to email?

  Well there’s X, Amazon, Reddit, Microsoft, Oracle, Broadcom, Salesforce, Intuit, Cisco, Palo Alto, Ubiquiti, and CloudFlare. There’s a total of 15 examples, not counting subsidiaries of these companies, nor breaking them down by product.

    Thank you. What are the alternatives to those?

      To those what? Those are the American companies behind the services, the actual list of services and products those companies provide would take awhile to list out. Each one is going to have 1-3 alternatives at least. If you want some alternatives you’re going to have to narrow down your question.

  You want me to list every US tech company that provides an online service? That’s absurd.

    Any examples would suffice. But you’d have already that if you’re replying in good faith.

        Britannica is headquartered in the US (Chicago) and most Wikipedia editors are not from the US, so I wouldn’t count out Wikipedia so quickly.

      Exactly, you tell me since I’m just giving you examples of US hosted services as you asked for.

      Personally you could self host all three, but it would be a fairly expensive endeavour and you’d be operating on a brand new platform with no users.

        How would i tell you when i asked you for the alternatives? That doesn’t make any sense.
