La reazione tecnologica statunitense cresce man mano che i paesi e le startup cercano alternative

We are incredibly dependent on a handful of American Big Tech companies for the digital services that we use every day. Microsoft, Amazon, and Google manage an estimated three quarters of the data stored in the Netherlands. Big Tech controls your smartphone (iOS and Android), with your Facebook, Instagram, Threads, X, and TikTok accounts on it, as well as your WhatsApp, iMessage, and Messager accounts, and probably even your email (Gmail) and files in the cloud (Google Docs). This gives Big Tech control over the systems on which you as an individual, as well as companies and governments, rely on to function.
