While tens of thousands of people have joined Facebook groups in Sweden and Denmark calling for no longer buying American, Norwegian company Haltbakk Bunkers has announced that it will stop supplying US military vessels with fuel.
I know that my country - The Netherlands imports a lot from the US, so i am trying not to.
Ditched all my Meta accounts, closed Amazon account/prime and Kindle, moved away from Google to several other services, stopped several streaming services and when we buy products from the supermarket actively check wheter products are from the US, and replace them with local/EU/Canadian products.
Won’t flame you for using proton. I’m concerned personally because of the CEOs stance, but it’s not worse than Google, and is probably at least a bit better
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.

From Canada, I’ve done the same as you, but I’m struggling to de Google. Any suggestions?
