@purism We need better laws and to avoid BMW. It is not the first time they do "fun stuff" -- other was "pay subscription to use your own hardware".

In my opinion it is not the country of origin of a company that is important, but the values that a company applies.

When you use *online* services of a company, the jurisdiction is very important though.
