Alarm: multiple billionaires detected whining about the Find out phase.

I agree. Big tech are the main problem right now. The algorithms and misinformation of several of these US megacorps are litterally ruining elections in Europe. Twitter should have been banned the second Musk started using it as his own private megaphone. Governments should not be storing our data in datacenters owned by a foreign power. Big tech and Russia made Trump possible. If our governments won’t do it we should do it ourselves. Avoid especially Google, Apple, Meta/Facebook and Amazon as much as possible. Tiktok as well, even if it isn’t a US app. And we really need to rely less on Microsoft, even if they are showing less signs of being evil shits.
Even if it won’t bring these corps down, using European alternatives will help them grow and make sure there is at least somewhere to turn to when shit really hits the fan. And remember, yes some may cost money, but if it’s free you’re usually the product.
And yes, I should probably get off Reddit too.

No, not RETALIATE.
Europe should build a robust system that would limit the big tech ability to impact democracy, to extract value, and to limit competition

US big tech companies are literally outlaws and should be treated as such. Criminal president or no criminal president.

Alternatives, the world needs alternatives. I will happily pay for it even though I am not European.

Should have done it yesterday
Why retaliate? Just regulate – as should have been done in the first place.
Yep we have a large trade deficit in services.
As trump says : “they are taking advantage of us and are very nasty, very nasty” so time to correct that.
Europe needs its own cloud tech companies.
Using the US cloud companies gives the Trump administration to all the data they contain.
The US can legally access all European business and government data through the [US Cloud Act.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLOUD_Act)
