1st, Code Berg, is an alternative to GitHub, but located in Germany.
That is where I have been working on a list of digital service providers, outside Us Jurisdiction. It has not been easy. Often you will find "company 1" is located in "France" (random example), but is owned by another company in "Germany" (random example), which is ultimately owned by a company in the United States.
In making my list, I have learned just how much people "simp" for a corporation. It is that tribe mindset folks have. You point out how their own TOS (terms of services) quote either an address in the United States, or quotes a bunch of laws in the United States, and people still want you to list their company because "reasons" (insert random excuse). I am sure, they're happy with their service provider, but the whole point is to come up with a list of service providers, outside Us Jurisdiction (laws).
Here is my list. It is open source and a community effort. codeberg.org/Linux-Is-Best/Out…

Danish PM condemns Trump team over imminent Greenland visit
Mette Frederiksen vows to “stand against” aggressive overtures from the White House toward Arctic island.Csongor Körömi (POLITICO)
The #Trump admin is trying to deport *another* student, 21-yr-old #YunseoChung, a legal permanent resident, under the statute authorizing Secy of State #MarcoRubio to remove people deemed threat. She's lived here since childhood.
Chung wasn’t a leader or heavily involved in the protest movement, she only attended a few.
The #US is seeking to deport a person w/a #GreenCard since she was a child because she went to a #protest.

in reply to Have I Been Pwned • • •ah, that's unfortunate.
As for Mailchimp retaining unsubscribed email addresses "in order to prevent resubscribes"... they should use hashes or something like that, to provide the desired effect (if that has been surmised correctly) without the retention of PII.

I do not give it out to businesses that also want my phone number. They will just sell that combination of information.
They may get one, but not both. Avoid rewards programs.
When they ask if you are in their rewards program, if you say no, then they will ask if you want to join, you say no.
If they want my PII instead if cash, they are not worthy.
I prefef to reveal phone number, but no email.
When they ask, I just say my email is broken.
