As long as Europe - and other countries - keep progressing the movement to 'tech sovereignty' we will pull US Big Tech away from Trump (just as our boycott already split Musk away). Our institutions, including governments and the EU itself, are already doing a lot, as we are as individuals - promoting, supporting and using European Alternatives.

I'm not sure if the UK is fully on board with this though ? It still seems happy to deal with Palantir, for example.
