A big difference for the occupant, not for the insurance company

And you think that's going to happen by removing the trashcans?

The point is that fascism is not unique to the US, i.e. not everyone from the US is fascist and the EU also has fascists. To imply that universally EU=good and US=bad is nationalistic. Just be aware thay this sentiment may also attract people who join out of a sense of national pride rather than anti-fascism.

Stocks going up mostly benefits the wealthy. We shouldn't measure success that way.

Yes, the top part was clearly not written by a bottom.

So it's okay as long as you buy me dinner afterwards.

As long as it's not an exit node, nobody will be able to tell what the traffic is. It's all encrypted including the metadata.

This 100%.

The US bullied the rest of the world into passing these anti-circumvention laws that make it illegal to modify the appliances you buy. Stick it to them and let us run our own firmware free of US cloud services.

Last I checked Ukraine is ceding a lot of ground in Kursk. Are you saying that's all a lie?

The remaining issues could be mass surveillance

Might there be a problem like this with this DNS from the EU?

Unfortunately yes. Some member states have laws requiring ISPs (and presumably also DNS recursors) to log all traffic data, although this was partially restricted by the EU's top court. It's difficult to say what exactly is shared with law enforcement and this may well change in the near future.

The most important thing is to not go for options like Google (8.8.8.8) or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1), which a lot of techies default to.

Using your ISP's DNS is actually relatively okay, because they are quite well regulated by the GDPR and ePrivacy Directive (e.g. they cannot sell your traffic data or use it for advertising without proper freely-given consent) and you're already paying them so they don't need to sell your data to turn a profit. In most cases this configuration is good enough.

The remaining issues could be mass surveillance (some EU member states force ISP's to keep traffic logs for fighting crime). Switching to a third party NS recursor could work, but you would then have to trust them.

Or perhaps you want DNS over TLS or HTTPS, which not all ISPs offer. Without that, DNS is unencrypted so an wiretapper between you and your ISP could monitor what websites you visit. But such an attack isn't very likely to happen.

Lastly, some internet censorship is done by forcing ISP's to block domains at the DNS level. Using a different DNS recursor gets around that, as long as there are no more sophisticated blocks in place.
