Can you provide anything factual that supports this statement?

Also, don’t feel down because of the downvotes; some people are apparently afraid of “(…) polite and fruitful discussion” and would rather suppress opinions they disagree with.

Another way to think about this whole privacy debate is something I see way too rarely in non-European and English-speaking communities: data protection. Sometimes you don’t care if others know this or that, but knowledge is power, and knowledge about you is power over you.

Example: An employer might not employ you because they find out that you have mental health issues. In Germany, an employer cannot legally request this information, but if you were transparent about it from the beginning, you might have a hard time finding a job.

Robert Braxman is infamous for spreading disinformation on YouTube and other social platforms. If you watch a couple of his videos and fact-check the statements he makes, you will quickly realize that a lot of it is wrong. One video I remember quite well was where he talked about “service workers” in browsers and said that they are a critical privacy issue that would affect them all. He also promotes his own products quite often as the “ultimate solution” for privacy, and I seem to remember that his E2EE messenger wasn’t actually end-to-end encrypted (can’t find the source, sadly). Therefore, I do not expect the BraX3 phone to be any good, and it directly supports him too, as far as I’m aware. I actually criticized IodéOS in the past for partnering with them (I nowadays assume their whole goal was just to expand their business).

I strongly disencourage buying those.

I would encourage you to file a complaint to the applicable data protection authority.

I guess our only hope is for the EU court to deem it unlawful?

im Falle von Mullvad wissen wir es nur durch ihnen, also dieser zusätzliche Beweisfaktor existiert da nicht wirklich.

Die Firma (…) können erzählen was sie wollen

Contact your representatives and do your best not to let that happen. :)

Supporting organisations and political parties that fight these proposals also helps.

Naja; im Falle von Mullvad wissen wir es nur durch ihnen, also dieser zusätzliche Beweisfaktor existiert da nicht wirklich.

IVPN macht keine No-Log-Audits mehr falls du dich darauf beziehst, aus guten Gründen.

I wonder why they still haven’t had their domain taken away, as it is hard to believe they didn’t upset their local government too.

The worst thing the UK could do is sanction the country where responsible people live, though I consider this unlikely. The second worst thing they could do is just block it nationwide on a network level.

I would rather not.

Old Reddit’s logged-out experience is a significant source of abusive scraping and automated traffic on the platform. It’s also an important interface for many long-time mods and Redditors.

If the majority of people would be right, the world wouldn’t be where it is today. Also, I do not tolerate insults, get blocked.

And I told you it’s not, with an real example.
