Moving Away from Mailchimp

From now on, Mailerlite is the digital service that delivers Tuesday Post.
No US-based Mailchimp anymore.

Moving away from Mailchimp is moving away from a US-based company and FISA laws. Mailerlite is a European service and runs its data in Europe. And every step towards more data protection and data sovereignty makes sense.

At the last NATO top, a new framework for the transatlantic data flow deal is announced. Will it cause a follow-up of Schrems I (2015) and Max Schrems II (2020) after a test in court?

I believe that the real solution for data sovereignty will come from technological innovation. For the time being, do I recommend hurrying up and doing the same because Mailchimp runs on US Servers? No, not per sé.

Mailchimp is not in the business of active destruction, as Otto Scharmer describes in his article here.

"The problem with most social media giants is not that they don’t shut down sites that amplify disinformation. The problem is the entire business model that made Facebook a trillion-dollar company. It is a business model based on maximizing user engagement by activating and amplifying disinformation, anger, hate, and fear. Facebook, like Trumpism and Putinism, activates the same cognitive and social behaviors …: deceit (disinformation gets more shares than real information), de-sensing (echo chambers, anger, hate), absencing (amplification of depression), blaming (trolling), destruction (violence against refugees proportional to Facebook use), all of which eventually leads us toward self-destruction."

Mailchimp, Mailerlite, and services alike help us to stay connected with our favorite brands and communities. In the future, they will pick up the email address from my digital twin (or PDS (personal data service)).

Digital services won’t store personal data anymore; individuals will do it in their digital twin on the Threefold Grid. We will win data minimization and data sovereignty. It is in the hand of the people and their organizations.

ThreeFold is a platform for the creators of tomorrow to build that blueprint of responsibility and ensure that the outcome of future systems is neutrality.

Co-Inpetto Farm contributes to the roll-out of Threefold Grid, a foundational layer for a decentralized digitial infrastructure. It is our innovation space to design for sustainable prosperity.
