Too often, the media in the US describes digital sovereignty as a US-EU conflict when it's really a battle between Big Tech and everyone else. Case in point: companies in Quebec are making a strong push for Digital Sovereignty.

How some Quebec companies are making the leap towards digital sovereignty

More and more Quebec companies want to offer alternatives to U.S. tech giants. With increasing geopolitical tensions, some believe the time is right for Quebecers to give digital sovereignty a chance.

@kdkorte Big Tech AND U.S. Government and governement agensies, who are currently the worse visable offenders, who belive that U.S. law applies outside U.S. boarders. But there are others to Israeli, Russia China.

It is not just Big Tech

Why should one individual or country have the right to data held a different jurisdiction.

Say. US ICE wanting to read my email or personal messages held in EU. Or Israeli Secret Service monitor communications in the UK or USA. #digitalsovereignty matters

@Mediocreman I am not even sure whether Big Tech and the various U.S. Government parts are the worst. I'd say they are simply the loudest.

As you mentioned, Israeli, Russian, and Chinese agencies do the same. Yet they do it much more covertly, and likely more efficiently.

@kdkorte As a Brit. I live in Northumberland. I am sure GCHQ is doing covert nasty stuff too. But nobody knows what they are listening to or what the British Governement do with it.
