I'm not in the legal loop, but would it be beneficial to move to a different country or region? For example, the EU comes to mind. Would also give me peace of mind regarding my data.

Both the article's title and its contents line up with what you're saying. I'm not seeing any clickbait here, save for perhaps the HN title.

9MB is a lot. For scale: I have a rust application; assets (font + music), GUI via GPU, networking, unzipping, a bit of cryptography, it's all in there. 400 dependencies in total (yes, i don't like it). By these metrics it's
