Is "sovereign washing" the new "privacy washing"?

Microsoft, Google, and AWS recently published “sovereign clouds”.

❌ BUT digital sovereignty doesn’t come from shiny new product names such as these “sovereign clouds” - which still must hand out data to US without a warrant based on the CLOUD Act and FISA.

✅ Digital sovereignty comes from full European legal and technical control. Everything else is nothing more than sovereign washing.

Help request. My brother has Stage 4 colorectal cancer.

His life insurance has refused to pay out on a technicality, meaning he and his loved ones cannot afford the mortgage on their home.

I've never asked for anything in return for infosec stuff, but if you have anything spare, please chuck it this direction instead:

FIRST is honored to be part of the launch of the Common Good Cyber Fund, as recently announced by the Common Good Cyber secretariat!🛡️

This groundbreaking initiative will strengthen global cybersecurity by supporting nonprofits that deliver critical services protecting civil society actors at high risk and the Internet as a whole.

As incident response professionals, we know firsthand how nonprofit organizations serve as the frontline defense for Internet security, yet remain severely underfunded. This fund addresses that critical gap.

🌍 The impact: Supporting nonprofits that maintain core digital infrastructure and provide cybersecurity assistance to high-risk actors including journalists and human rights defenders.

🤝 The backing: All G7 Leaders have announced support, with UK and Canada leading joint investment.

🎯 Our commitment: FIRST believes in a strong, diverse cybersecurity ecosystem. This fund will provide the long-term support our community needs to make the Internet safe for all.

Together with the Internet Society, Global Cyber Alliance and fellow secretariat members, we're building a safer digital future for everyone.
