"All his accounts with US companies such as Amazon, Airbnb, or PayPal were immediately closed by the providers. Online bookings, such as through Expedia, are immediately canceled, even if they concern hotels in France."

About half of the problems mentioned by the article are solved by the all-in-one-inbox beeper.com, now owned by Automattic.

It allows me for example to avoid Instagram's crack app while still DMing with friends only available on there.

How come this culture war mindset infuses everything we do online now?

Nowhere does this map or its description even imply you are a bad person.

It's pure ... projection
