    I think its great that Europe is looking to rely less on US tech but nothing about whats going on with Europe (especially within the EU) makes me think privacy is a focus.

      Companies that have had their whole data on Google/MS servers for 20 years certainly don’t care for privacy the way you and I do. But they are certainly realizing that US providers are not the way to go. Baby steps I guess.

      That reminds me of a quote I heard once. Probably from Cory Doctorow but I cannot remember now.

      “Everyone wants you to have privacy… just not from them.”

      Yeah? Because Chat Control is still a thing. And age verification as well, but the EU won’t outsource that to 3rd parties (we have EIDAS and the EU wallet for that).

          But I’m an American so what do I know?

          You know much more about the world around you than the orange turd that claims to be the leader of the free world. Don’t sell yourself short, mate! It’ll take people like you to rebuild once this is over.
