EU‑Kill‑Switch für Clouds: Die EU zwingt Microsoft, Amazon & Google, in ihre Infrastruktur einen Not‑Aus-Schalter zu bauen. Behörden können Datenzugriff und Dienste im Notfall abschalten – ein Schritt hin zu mehr digitaler Souveränität und Schutz kritischer Infrastruktur.

- Klarere Regeln für sensible Daten
- Stärkerer Staatsschutz, aber neue Fragen zur Kontrolle

Privacy Is Not Sovereignty

Why protecting who sees your data does nothing about who decides what it means

An interesting experiment in living without Big Tech products. However, it is rather telling that, already in the first paragraph, they forget to count Apple as an American Big Tech company.

@mfranchi

Maybe better take a look at #pixelfed then?

@monnett looks like a VC grabbing scheme to me. One of their directors, Arnold Spruit, is also director of various #BlackRock #property funds.

Is this really about #privacy, or is it #eurowashing, i.e. riding on the wave of #digitalSovereignty? Why do they hide their source code?

And why are they in LU, which is well-known for lowest taxes of the #EU. Coincidence?

Maybe I'm too questioning. Sorry!

For most Caribbean nations, a US invasion might just mean the State Department ordering Microsoft and Google to shut down all of their services to a country's government.

In the last days, I've been working to add #french translations to my website.

And I'm still not done. There is more to do.

But the more I think about Canadian #digitalsovereignty #canada

The more I also think about #quebec digital sovereignty

And whoever thinks about Quebec sovereignty has to think about the french language.

One thing leads to another.

So my website needs to become bilingual.
