I live in the US and I dont trust US companies with my data either. They either sell it or are handled by easily exploitable systems developed offshore in India.
So, in that sense I do not trust the US, China, India, or Russia with my data and avoid software developed in any of these places when feasibly possible.
Even FOSS software? The Linux Foundation's headquartered in the US.
I do get the rationale, but honestly you could just change that to "proprietary software" and you'd have more options with just as much data security.
Are you giving data to the Linux Foundation?
He clearly says "with my data"?
Man, that's a pretty limited app list.
