Agreed. I was initially reluctant about the GDPR thinking it'll be more rubbish to have to take into account but was really pleasantly surprised. It actually and seriously implies better rights over collected data and privacy.

I think soon enough, privacy is going to become a serious competitive advantage for Europe because it'll translate into consumer confidence and business confidence .

I wish we had more European based alternative services that I could switch to. With email the standard response to dumping Gmail seems to be FastMail (non-EU) and I haven't seen anything high-quality within the EU. Same goes for lots of other services.

If anyone reading has some suggestions for EU based alternatives to popular websites/apps I'd love to hear.

ProtonMail for mail. ProtonVPN just launched, too.

Being Swiss is it subject to the same EU privacy protections?
