Western leaders have appeased Donald Trump since he returned to power, only to be hit with new demands after every concession.

On Tuesday, Trump declared economic war on countries that regulate its tech companies. It’s time for the world to break from the US and aggressively target Silicon Valley.

World leaders must stop appeasing Donald Trump

Conceding to Trump’s demands only guarantees new threats. It’s time to reject the US and its tech companies.

@parismarx Good article - I do miss a reference to the most obvious avenue the rest of the world has to ending US technofeudalism: Rescind IP protections derived from DMCA 1201 & let companies reverse-engineer the everloving crap out of every single piece of Big Tech software & hardware.

If you feel up to it you could also add that with the insane amounts of money spent on licenses, switching to or even building alternative tech is most certainly realistic & even makes good fiscal sense.
