Just in case there is anyone left who still thinks it's ok for European government systems to run on services owned by us companies...

The same is true for European companies too.

@quixoticgeek @marleenstikker I had to be the guy who's doing it but:

@kkarhan might have more force if you fix the typo tho :p

@quixoticgeek

I was like "what's the point of this" until I read the letter to alphabet and saw "American speech". they're mad EU laws are preventing American fascist crap on social media to be seen by EU citizens

@quixoticgeek Haven't we been warning the EU, Canada, Australia, etc, to get the hell off Meta and X for more than a year? Does it take Switzerland saying NO to Palantir, or UN officials getting accounts frozen, for them to realise how vulnerable they are?

@quixoticgeek

I doubt he even comprehends what he has done.
No government official can have any expectation of communications through any US infrastructure having any protection whatsoever.

The genie is out of the bottle and blowing raspberries.

@quixoticgeek to quote a famous us fascist: "use Signal"

EU politicians are forced to choose: chat control and all that comes with it, or a strong stance for freedom. Good.
