"The safety guarantee of European digital infrastructure is not that it’s European but that it’s democratic.

European digital infrastructure is presumed to be safer not because of its location, but because of the democratic governance that controls the legal environment in which it operates. The assumption of stable democratic governance is precisely what an authoritarian wave now moving across Europe is putting in doubt."

@ilumium In other words, if technology and infrastructure are to only advance then democracy must also advance. You can not have the former without the later.
