Would you prefer to trust a company in a foreign country that isn't beholden to your country's laws?

What if it were open-source software, e.g. like farcaster.xyz, with some level of cryptographic tamper-proof assurances?

I don't; FISA courts & Snowden's revelations have basically exposed facts that the US government agencies have open back doors to all data in the big tech companies.
