The United States requires that an individual go in person to a U.S. embassy or consulate outside the U.S. and sign before a consular officer an oath or affirmation that he intends to renounce his citizenship, although exceptions are legally permitted in times of war and under special circumstances.[21] [22]During the expatriation procedure, the individual must complete several documents and demonstrate in an interview with a consular officer that the renunciation is voluntary and intentional. Depending on the embassy or consulate, the individual is often required to appear in person two times and conduct two separate interviews with consular officers over the course of several months.
[23]There were between 222 and 235 renunciants in 2008, between 731 and 743 in 2009, and about 1485 in 2010;[24] [25]In 2011, there were 1781 renunciants. [26]Already in the first quarter of 2013, there were 679 renunciants. [27]
[28]Formal confirmation of the loss of U.S. citizenship is provided by the Certificate of Loss of Nationality and is received by the renunciant a number of months later. Renunciation of U.S. citizenship was free until July 2010, at which time a fee of $450 was established. [29]Although many countries require citizenship of another nation before allowing renunciation, the United States does not and an individual may legally renounce U.S. citizenship and become stateless. Nonetheless, the United States Department of State warns renunciants that, unless they already possess a foreign nationality or are assured of acquiring another nationality shortly after completing their renunciation, they would become stateless and without the protection of any government.
[30]In one case, Vincent Cate, an encryption expert living in Anguilla, chose to renounce his US citizenship to avoid the possibility of violating US laws that may prohibit US citizens from "exporting" encryption software.[31]

At some point everyone must decide if they are a creator or a critic; a lover or a hater, a giver or a taker.

We’ve been working on decentralised and federated social networking for over three years. First with “Friendica” and now with “the Red Matrix”. The Red Matrix (aka “Red”) goes beyond whatever you think about online communication systems and social networking. It basically redefines how we interact with the web itself. We’ve taken so...
We fully support the American intelligence system and actively participate in giving them information freely - so that they can track, monitor, and analyse the online activities of you and your friends; regardless of your nationality or background. We also support the right of American corporations to do literally anything without regard to legalities or ethics in order to take money from you and participate in this global surveillance program.
And we don't give a shit about your freedom and privacy.
