    Africa is still developing so data privacy is the least of their concerns. They’re focusing on creating stable corruption free governments that don’t undergo a coup or civil war every 5 years, and having a hell of a time with that.

      Africa is an enormous continent, it contains 53 different countries and what you said is only true of a handful of them.

      I don’t blame you, I blame the eurocentric educational system and news media.

      that don’t undergo a coup or civil war every 5 years, and having a hell of a time with that.

      If by “having a hell of a time with that” you mean “the US loves shutting down developing nations”, absolutely.

        There is no evidence the US has been involved in the last several coups, we’ve been supporting efforts at fair democratic processes and development in Africa for years.

          Good joke. The US is literally AT ALL TIMES trying to destabilize any country that could potentially pose a problem to their hegemony. As recently as 2022 it has been PROVEN that US agencies tried (unsuccessfully) to undermine Brazilian democracy, as an example. (Before you try to change subjects - yes, Brazil is not in Africa. It’s just a concrete example you can’t dodge with argumentation).
