Privacy-Respecting European Tech Alternatives

Privacy Guides presents a list of privacy-respecting European tech alternatives for readers who want to support the European tech industry, while stating that it values technical guarantees over jurisdiction. It notes that the US has been unilaterally cutting off access to critical technologies to European countries, prompting calls for "radical action" from EU lawmakers. The list includes Tuta and Proton Mail for email, CryptPad and Nextcloud for office and file tools, Startpage, which has been a subsidiary of American company System1 since 2020, and Element and SimpleX for messaging.
