USA's #Maxar isn't just cutting off classified satellite imagery to #Ukraine, but commercial unclassified services. How long until Starlink follows?

I'm not sure if the White House has thought thru the signal this is sending the world:

If you use American tech, cloud or telecoms, it can be turned off on a whim *while you're being invaded & bombed* to strongarm your country to sign a deal you don't want.

Imagine how many govts are currently frantically trying to migrate away from US services.

@nicol
Right. And…Signal?
A non-US Signal replacement is urgently needed. Are there any?

@djembro You don't trust Signal now? Curious why. I thought they were the best option for us here in the US 🤷🏼‍♀️

@lrt_writes
I can imagine an increasingly despotic US government requiring backdoors in secure communications platforms. It happens in autocracies. Even switching to Matrix may not be much of a hedge for very long, depending on how bad things get. One can use VPN as a wrapper until VPN also becomes illegal. US digital infrastructure just isn’t safe anymore. 💔

@djembro @lrt_writes I would think Signal would move to another jurisdiction rather than open a back door?

@Mer__edith

@kallekn One would hope, but best to plan for the worst.
