"The scale of Europe’s dependence on US tech companies and #digital services is only just beginning to dawn on citizens and policymakers.

“If #Europe could figure out a way to move into the digital future with a stack and a regulatory regime that is more compatible with democratic values, perhaps it could carve out more of a place for itself in the #digital world — particularly as AI moves into industry, where European companies are still often world-beaters.”
