A WIRED timeline shows how dozens of governments, companies, and other organizations across Europe are moving, or planning to shift, away from US Big Tech.
Those don’t seem like seismic changes, but if the pace continues it could be significant. My main worry is that we end up with equally shitty companies just under a different jurisdiction.
Until the far-right lead the dominant EU players such as Germany & France. We’re already up to our necks in genocide so I see no reason to expect basic decency in this context either.
It’s “up YOUR neck”. Carry your own responsibility and please don’t push it to others.
Second: the loosy way of juggling with (scientific and historic) concepts is exactly how Putin has been
lying about “nazi in the other country/countries” (and claiming said coutry is not real or is not valid) - to present an excuse to attack the neighbours.

They made it really easy to get into and really hard to get out of, so any progress in that direction is great, but it’s gonna take literal decades.
If the EU at least has the option to regulate them directly on EU soil that will already be a big step forward.

Tltr: be responsible and stop lying!
I dont prefer to be so pessimistic about the future. I don’t believe the EU will break down or fail as a project even if times are rough
I don’t think the EU will fail functionally. It has already failed morally and legally.
