Let’s break it down. Just because a solution is European, it doesn’t automatically mean it’s better or more trustworthy when it comes to your data and privacy. While some European solutions might be great, it’s not a guarantee that they’re all created equal or that they’re more committed to protecting your information.
It’s not like all European companies are die-hard advocates for privacy, fairness, and openness. Each one has its own approach and priorities, just like their North American counterparts. So, it’s essential to do your research and evaluate each solution on its own merits, rather than making assumptions based on its geographical origin.
That being said, if you’re looking for a temporary solution while you search for something you can really trust, a European option might be a good stopgap. It’s not a permanent fix, but it can help you bridge the gap until you find a solution that truly aligns with your values and priorities. Just remember to keep looking and don’t get too comfortable – your data and privacy are worth the extra effort to find the right fit.
