L’Europa ha perso il controllo sul cloud e sulle infrastrutture digitali e non può più conservare i dati all’interno dell’UE. La sicurezza informatica e l’intelligenza artificiale dipendono dalle aziende statunitensi, mentre i regolatori dell’UE bloccano lo sviluppo di soluzioni nazionali

Looking at people from the US who are saying that those data centers are built in the middle of neighborhoods eat up water, noise pollution and drive up the electricity costs for people, I’m pretty happy with EU regulations not allowing this
America innovates
China replicates
Europe regulates
An old trope, but still true to an extent. The United States has eclipsed Europe economically this century and the trend is continuing. Because instead of asking ourselves where we can innovate, we ask ourselves what we can regulate and ban. That’s how we get to the idea that to counter Russian propaganda we must regulate the internet and give the European Commission the keys to censorship, instead of promoting the European Union via social media initiatives.
Our industry is dying. Our response? Let’s ban ICE cars and set an unrealistic target for mandatory EV transition. Our energy sector is failing. Germany’s response? Let’s ban nuclear energy for no reason. We are completely uncompetitive on the AI front. Our response? Let’s overregulate AI and create a tax environment that disincentivises the upper middle class that is usually the driver of innovation and push our IT experts to America!
In economics, there’s always a tradeoff between equity and efficiency. You do need a bit of both, but you must be careful not to kill one by leaning too much to the other one. If we don’t cut some social programmes to be able to lower taxes and spur innovation, we will be eaten alive by the big players.
This reads less like a tech failure and more like a strategic one.
Someone must be paying hard for headlines to hit the EU doomsday daily quota.
Have you tried Gridscale – Germany, UpCloud – Finland, Scaleway – France?
What a silly little US sponsored article. AWS and Azure are the largest and loudest – doesn’t mean there’s not alternatives which are great
I’m very much skeptical over this narrative that EU did not develop its own cloud infrastructure and Internet giants due to “regulations”. There are much clearer culprits in the availability of capital and fragmented market.
EU regulations are good, actually. At least for us consumers.
