The very short version: it is madness to continue transferring the running of European societies and governments to American clouds. Not only is it a terrible idea given the kind of things the “King of America” keeps saying, the legal sophistry used to justify such transfers, like the nonsense letter the Dutch cabinet sent last week, has now been invalidated by Trump himself. And why are we doing this? Convenience.
The time to develop sovereign digital infrastructure was like a decade ago. Better late than never I guess. Good news is that the only way Europe can do this is by leveraging open source, so maybe we’ll see more support for that going forward.
massive step in the right direction. it was dumb all along to trust so much to the most murderous empire in existence.
