So we slowly start to see the mechanisms the US under Trump is establishing to silence and destroy critics or people they deem to be their enemy. From travel bans (Breton, von Hodenberg) to complete isolation from using US American software, banking and payment networks (ICJ/ICC judges and prosecutors). I will continue to untangle my digital life towards personal digital sovereignty. That's also why I am primarily on the Fediverse, by the way.
Also โ if you are organising an international conference and still plan for that to take place in the US, think again. You are putting your international audience at risk. Not just Trump critics, also transgender people, non-white people and more groups.
