I don’t understand the threat here? Especially if I am an American.
See the discussion I had with @Scoresby on his "trust ISP" post.
Without too much LARPing:
Imagine that you're a US normie and you use
Gigsky, a US company, for your vacay to Mexico, because prepaid T-Mobile US is super-expensive outside of the US. Gigsky routes all traffic through Denmark. Now the EU logs all your metadata because that's an EU directive.Do you use encrypted DNS? Does every app you have on your phone actually use proper encryption and not leak cleartext data? You're literally now being surveilled in Europe.
LARP time: Remember which EU country the US has threatened war against? Denmark, over Greenland. Unless you have such disdain for European people that you agree with Mr. Vance that they are all completely retarded, maybe they will pay extra attention to anyone from a country that has actively threatened their sovereignty with invasion?

Ahh okay very interesting. Everytime I travel internationally I would get a local physical sim. I never used an eSIM in my life. What captured my attention about this post is how much exposure does silent.link have to this type of surveillance. The privacy bros love silent.link and I was thinking of using it next time I’m out of the USA
