    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.

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

    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.

    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.

      technically it does.

      there’s no requirement that vendors have to verify your country of origin and asking for that kinda breaks gdpr.

      just request your right to be forgotten and they will just comply.

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

          Tbh the whole French bad thing was because they were based in the past. They didn’t want to join Bush’ invasion so French fries became freedom fries.

            French fries became freedom fries (for about a month, but it was well covered by the media).

        And the US ambassador to Belgium was summoned by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, after which all was settled.

        This is not how you deal with fascists.
