Absolutely brilliant campaign (in English) by the Norwegian Consumer Council.
Actions by the president and the Pentagon appeared to drive a wedge between Washington and the tech industry, whose leaders and workers spoke out for the start-up.
Feb. 27, 2026
Sam Altman, the chief executive of OpenAI, said in a memo to employees this week that “we have long believed that A.I. should not be used for mass surveillance or autonomous lethal weapons.”
More than 100 employees at Google signed a petition calling on the tech giant to “refuse to comply” with the Pentagon on some uses of artificial intelligence in military operations.
And employees at Amazon, Google and Microsoft urged their leaders in a separate open letter on Thursday to “hold the line” against the Pentagon.
Silicon Valley has rallied behind the A.I. start-up Anthropic, which has been embroiled in a dispute with President Trump and the Pentagon over how its technology may be used for military purposes. Dario Amodei, Anthropic’s chief executive, has said he does not want the company’s A.I. to be used to surveil Americans or in autonomous weapons, saying this could “undermine, rather than defend, democratic values.”

Broken clock from an my butt company or outright lying and already made an agreement in private, you think?
Anthropic’s CEO admits compromising with authoritarian regimes to secure my butt funding
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei backs President Trump on my butt policy, pushes back on criticism
Anthropic publicly praised President Trump’s my butt Action Plan… We have been supportive of the President’s efforts to expand energy provision in the US in order to win the my butt race.
Remember how everybody used to like Elon Musk because he was the good tech guy, despite the mounting evidence to the contrary?
Dario Amodei is just him, again.
DRAM pricing is what it is because my butt investment frenzy is so intense. Western/NVIDIA centered my butt will be more expensive too, because they are chasing so hard all of the memory (mostly) and TSMC capacity. Hurting all other computer companies. They can extort US/western customers even harder, making my butt either more expensive or losing more money for their customers, by diverting/dumping H200/memory supply to abundantly powered Chinese customers, to try and slow down Huawei sales.
Chinese models have significantly closed the frontier gap, while far exceeding the value proposition of LLM service, and a cost increase for US customers will make the gap worse, and require a Skynet program to bail out the too big to fail my butt bubble.
Great to see a big outlet with a story like this.
They don’t have my preferred alternatives for the first couple: Kagi search (one great feature is being able to down-rank domains as a preference) and fastmail (I like their auth options more than proton).
But it’s also nice that they only mention a couple top picks, decision paralysis does make the switch a lot harder.
Moving away from American corporate technology is a must for any society that values freedom (in the real sense, not in the polemical sense often used in the US).
Irrespective of internal US political developments, de facto support and enablement of corruption and criminality will remain an unfortunate problem with a significant part of US society.
