Learned a lot from this essay/presentation. One point that I "liked" is how Trump and US based big tech virtually (pun intended) hold other countries hostage, either with export/import tariffs or by threatening to stop trade ("adapt this policy or forget about trading with us") or with sensitive data.

Also, this is the organization that he is working for. They have some tools for and guides on privacy too: https://www.eff.org/

I agree! But to be honest, pre written, essay like, high paced presentations like this one are sometimes hard to follow for nonnatives like myself. Even if his witty expressions really are a nice touch when I do get them!
