It’s incomprehensible that the whole of eu doesn’t have companies and infrastructure to have local clouds
To Defend Democracy with leased Microsoft Windows mentality. LOL.
>Europe can build an open and democratic stack alongside potential allies such as Canada, Brazil, Australia, South Korea, Taiwan, India, and others. The stack must span critical resources: hardware, chips, networks, IoT devices, cloud, software, platforms, algorithms, data, and AI.
Great idea! Why has nobody thought of this yet?
>In the short term, Europe needs home-grown social networks to cement political sovereignty.
Whoever wrote this is giving me the impression they have no idea how hard some of this stuff is
We can’t control Democracy. Fixed that for you.
Europe needs to catch up on that getting but not at the expense of consumers or laborers.
Dropping regulations will just make then US-lite and send them down the same technofeudalist path sooner or later.
Businesses can complain about regulations all they want. They must be made to obey and serve the people, NOT the other way around.
this basically comes down to the EU not being a single federal body but a confederate construct with individual states
the other nations that are independent from US tech and social media, like China and Russia achieve that because those things are supported and paid for by the state
so the first step towards a solution would simply be that the EU federalize more and get those things on EU level with EU funds
you cannot wait until someone in France or Germany builds a something as a start up, that won’t be bought out by someone else (which is the main goal of those start ups in the first place), but you have to install a big body in the first place
There won’t be a natural alternative for YoutTube or Facebook because their business model only works for them by ignoring EU rules, so anything else cannot be run on the “free market”.
Considering how many European countries want unlimited access to all your private communication, I very much doubt they can defend democracy on EU servers either.
