    From a unitedstatesian: please tell our diplomats to fuck off, emphatically. GDPR is a fucking godsend, and I wish it applied to us over on this side of the pond.

    You hear that, EU? Lean hard into your data sovereignty, if only to piss off America.

    Data sovereignty seems to be a new war front.

    It's really fascinating to see the usa empire go down in flames like a metaphorical hindenburg.

    EU competitors to AWS probably getting a lot of business from US businesses who don't want Donald Trump reading their data.

    Well, duh!

    Digital Sovereignty make industrial espionage much harder, plus it reduces the profits of the massive companies which grew in the previous Tech evolution wave, which are mainly in the US.

    The best way to fight back is for users to stop using as much as possible services and products from big tech companies who gave Trump millions of $. There will be nothing he could do about it ๐Ÿ–•

    There is definitely something happening to that effect. A lot of people have been pushing for sovereignty for quite some time and they have wind in their sails currently.

    The thing is, there is nothing complicated about the kind of services that make US tech billions. Cloud email and docs and drives are solved problems mostly, and they can be replicated almost trivially.

    It makes sense, a big part of their economy depends on exploitation, specifically the (mis)use of personal kind. It's only natural that they defend their interests and it's only natural to fight back.

    If your government's official policy is to fight any other nation's or group of nations' "sovereignty initiatives," you're not the good guys.

    Sorry. You are being bad to us(eu) so we don't trust you anymore. It is actually you US that need to change to fix the problem and start fighting Trump - he caused all of this.

    How very mature. All the "fight" will amount to nothing except to demostrating their toddler-in-chief's petulant behavior.
