Why avoid Israel-owned services?

Unit 8200 ecosystem

Many Israeli tech founders are alumni of Unit 8200, the IDF's signals intelligence unit, creating structural links between the tech sector and military intelligence.

Surveillance tech exports

Israeli companies including NSO Group have developed and exported surveillance tools, including Pegasus spyware, used to target journalists, lawyers and politicians globally.

Limited GDPR alignment

While Israel holds EU adequacy status for data transfers, its domestic intelligence laws provide fewer protections than GDPR for non-Israeli data subjects.
