I know you probably came more for the Boycott US but this is Buy European and we shouldn't mix those up really

I agree!

I think that we will keep having a mixup of "Buy European", "Boycott US" and "Privacy" because of the typical overlap of reasons why consumers change their behavior. I really like the visualisations that acknowledge this difference and indicate which alternatives satisfy which reasons for wanting to switch away from American providers.

Not sure if op edited the original question before or after your comment, but I say the question is definitely is about 'buying' European despite also being about not buying American. As of now this is what op asks: "I want to switch from those American for profit news outlets to Euro or non-profit news outlets, what are my options?"
