Uhm, isn't your comment misleading?

If a US company controls the servers, it’s illegal. If it’s EU-owned, it’s legal.

Plausible seems to use Netlify/AWS for analytics. Both US companies.

Jack, you are free to promote Fathom but I don't think you have the right to spread false information.

In fact, I don't think I will ever use or recommend Fathom to anyone after seeing you act so childish.

I'm confused. Open up Plausible, look for /event in your inspect element (devtools in chrome), look at the IP address that it connects to. Run that IP through ipinfo.io and see which country comes up. If it's the US, it's illegal (as per this entire thread).

What's childish about me not wanting people to potentially get fined?

What I'm hearing from my Govt agency clients is precisely that. EU Datacenters hosted by EU Subsidiaries of American companies are not ok.
