Amid growing concerns over Big Tech firms aligning with Trump administration policies, people are starting to move their digital lives to services based overseas. Here's what you need to know.
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 like YouTube, Gmail, Twitch, Maps, Azure, AWS, VMWare, etc.
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. Then each one of those products or services is going to have 1-3 alternatives at least. If you want some alternatives you’re going to have to narrow down your question, because like the guy you originally replied to said, there are a LOT of them. If you want a teaser, you’re making these comments on an alternative to one of the products of these companies right now.
You want me to list every US tech company that provides an online service? That’s absurd. Am I supposed to be proving that there are more than three companies in the USA that do this?
Not all online services are streaming media services. There are lots of other US services to get away from.
For example?
Other than apple google and facebook
Edit: Smooth, no examples. Stay classy.

Thank you. What are the alternatives to those?

Ok. Thanks for the help…

Any examples would suffice. But you’d have already done that if you’re replying in good faith.
You could start by reading the article you’re commenting on.
I obviously did, i said not the companies the article talks about.
You’re not as clever as you think you are.
I don’t think you are
Asking for alternatives shouldn’t be met with so much hostility. But please, carry on.
GitHub? Internet Archive? Wikipedia?
What are the alternatives to those?
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.
Thank you
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.
