There is no digital sovereignty without ODF

Any other choice is a choice of dependence on a single vendor

Digital sovereignty begins with the document format. Everything else – server location, hosting jurisdiction, procurement clauses – is downstream of this single decision. If the format is standard and open, the user controls the document. If the format is proprietary the vendor controls it, even when the file sits on the user’s own hard drive.

🇫🇮 Kelan tietojärjestelmän siirtäminen ulkomaiseen konesaliin vaarantaa kansalaisten perusoikeudet ⚖️

Kelan etuuksien käsittelyjärjestelmä on siirtymässä yhdysvaltalaisen Salesforcen pilvipalveluihin. Tämä tarkoittaa, että Kelalle laissa annettu tehtävä huolehtia jokaisen kansalaisen oikeudesta riittävään toimeentuloon siirtyy ulkomaisten yritysten palvelinten varaan.

Europe has found itself in a difficult and dangerous situation.

Last August, Proton’s Europe tech sovereignty report revealed that over 74% of publicly listed European companies depend on US infrastructure for their basic tech services.

Whether sending emails or running critical infrastructure in the cloud, Europe places its digital destiny in the hands of a few American service providers and the government they answer to.

That report now seems even more prescient...

I was surprised to see that Trump's outspoken advisor Stephen Miller had not worded a single post in support of Trump's Iran war. So I took a look back to see what he had posted during the election campaign.

Whoops.
