Hey everybody,
I am highly advocating for european sovereignty and try to emphasize people of the consequences of using US Tech.
The US Cloud Act allows the US government at any time to get all the data about you, your organization, just everything from US based companies. And with the politicial tension building up, this gets even more important. I mean just look at what happened to the ICC in the Hague, where Microsoft blocked the usage of Outlook etc., because Donald Trump did not like them.
Therefore it is really important that many countries and states within European countries are now changing course. Germany, France, Denmark, Netherlands, etc. All are (at least partially) migrating away from US Tech to either opensource or european solutions.
Also political parties like Volt are being a role model and move their infrastructure away from the US (even though not completely yet, as they still rely on Cloudflare; and if you want to see if others are doing to you could use https://ourval.eu/scan to scan for IT stacks).
Again, I just want to emphasize, that your decision matters. Not only is it great to support european tech firms to really be able to become independent and not the fox in a sheep costume like Amazon or Microsoft are doing it.
Did you already migrate to a European stack? Do you think we will be able to abandon US tech (at least for governments)?
PS: I just re-read through the post and no, it is not AI xD
