I have been an IRC operator for over 25 years, and never funneled any data to any third parties.

That is the beauty of open systems. One can choose an operator that reflects their values.

Nope, but I know people who have well and I know the level of quiet cowardly compliance that industry participates in. I want to enable an independent and private internet and US network providers are not in a position to help with that.
