Many friends have asked me the same thing. My response is, I don’t trust American companies either. I trust it if it’s open source and audited like all the security and privacy tools I use. Reddit was one of the last apps I had that wasn’t open source. Now I’m completely degoogled and use Lemmy as social media and a place to find information.
People will come at me with “privacy is dead and impossible” or "well you’re racist because you don’t like Tik Tok because it’s Chinese, you use Google and Microsoft ". Nope, I use Linux and a used degoogled Pixel. I went out of my way to avoid their crap.
If you want some resources I really like Mental Outlaw, Techlore, The channels Hated One, The New Oil, privacyguides, privacytools, and all the Lemmy privacy and degoogle communities.
