Data protection / privacy
It is important, that forDem respects personal data an privacy. So let's try to define, what that means.
1- Respect European data protection regulation (DSGVO): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation 2- Try not to use any services, that communicate with servers sitting in the USA, such as Google Fonts, Google Analytics, Facebook-Share-Buttons etc. 3- We don't use Google- or Apple Maps etc.
Internal communication
- Don't use commercial social media platforms or apps or chat- or video call apps (e.g. Facebook, WhatsApp, Zoom, MS Teams etc.)
Item number 1 is good, however I am not sure how we can avoid U.S companies. This needs more detail.
I give one example of where it might go wrong: Users want to connect their social media accounts, import or export things from/to them etc. Related: #139 #112
You are right, that it is really hard to avoid US alltogether. But it is important not to have many third-party services opening a network connection to our applications. It is important to host all of the fundamental parts of the software on the first-party servers. This means, all the html, css, js, fonts, assets (maybe), and especially the canvaskit scripts for flutter, as they are by default hosted on a 3rd-party cdn
I agree. And it is important to avoid google fonts, there is a lot of problems with that in Germany right now, because there are specialized lawyers, who sue private persons and institutions for violations of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation
