Microsoft says it's highly unlikely that US technology companies would turn off the services of European countries or politicians. Well, if you asked 2 years ago whether ICC officials would have had their MS subscriptions suspended, would […]

Trump wants to cut all trade with Spain. Well: Does this also go for digital products from Microsoft, AWS, Google etc? And what does this mean for actions in terms of #digitalsovereignity for (other) european countries?

This week on the Autonomous Stack series: why I'm doing this whole thing. I strive for digital autonomy but somehow I ended up with all these dependencies I don't control. I want to document how I'm changing that.

A mobile phone screenshot showing a Google Gemini with a prompt: "Do you think Google might be biased about this?" and a response: "Based on the context of the situation, it is highly likely that Google's stance is influenced by its own business interests."
Not even Gemini believes Google can offer a neutral version of this 🤣

Frankreich macht vor, wie erste Schritte einer digitalen Abnabelung von den USA aussehen können. Das geht, wenn man es nur will. Wir sollten uns das zum Vorbild nehmen.

Das ist die einfachste Maßnahme, die jeder in der Hand hat, der die Entwicklung in den USA auch bedrohlich findet.
Also: Nicht nur schnacken. Machen!

Major breakthrough in my efforts getting rid of US based tech companies... My contact database just synced with nextcloud. Some real life testing in the next couple of days and then delete all contacts in Google.

Dear Alexandra Geese and Veronika Cifrová Ostrihoňová, Thank you for your strong and timely letter addressing the ongoing crisis on X. Your assessment is clear: X is no longer a safe, open or balanced platform for democratic debate. Your arguments closely align with those set out in our Open Letter to All European Politicians and Leaders to Abandon X/Twitter, which was published over a year ago and has been endorsed by more than three thousand people across Europe. In your letter, you rightly identify two structural problems that prevent millions of Europeans from leaving X: the perceived lack of viable alternatives and the absence of simple, user-friendly portability mechanisms. I would like to draw your attention to two concrete solutions that already exist and can be adopted immediately. I have summarised these below, including the European Commission’s official Mastodon infrastructure and an existing, research-based portability solution. https://leavex.eu/posts/concrete-european-alternatives-to-x/ We still have nearly 60% of Members of the European Parliament are still active on X. I hope these solutions will support your efforts and help turn the current momentum into concrete action. With kind regards, Everton Zanella Alvarenga
I’ve written to @alexandrageese
and to Veronika Cifrová Ostrihoňová with concrete suggestions, Mastodon and Open Portability, in response to their recent letter on the crisis of X.

Was würdet ihr machen, wenn Trump morgen den Tech-Giganten befiehlt, die Daten jedes EU-Bürgers preiszugeben und Palantir damit zu füttern?
Gar nicht so abwegig inzwischen, oder?

Just remember that big techs are amoral . They are not good nor evil, they do not speak this language. They are pragmatic. Profit is a value and othing else. Year ago zero emission was a topic, and ESG. How it looks like in AI era?

Die Sanktionen betreffen wahrscheinlich auch den Einsatz von Apps, SW, Cloud von US-Anbietern. Also Google, Microsoft, Apple, WhatsApp. Richter beim Internationalen Gerichtshof haben das ja schon in diesem Jahr erlebt. Dort ist es auch um Kreditkarten und so weiter gegangen. #DigitalSovereignity
