The news that #X has suspended the #EU's advertising account on the platform after it issued a 120m EUR fine against X for breaking the #DSA is beyond hilarious.

And it might even be kind of good in the sense that politicians in Europe maybe finally realise how shitty it is to depend on such a lunatic for its public communications.

The European Union has been talking about digital sovereignty. It’s not going great in practice.

On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with @alineblankertz to discuss the rollback of tech regulations in Europe under pressure from European companies and the US.

Choosing how and where your data lives is essential for digital sovereignty.

Atlassian Data Center is ending in 2029. Rather than being forced into a proprietary cloud platform and staying locked into it, you can protect your data and your freedom to choose. Regain control now.

OpenProject offers open source project management: self-hosted or in a secure EU cloud. Your choice.

Just as Europe's dependence on Russian gas caused issues at the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine, so too does reliance on foreign software and hardware components. That is true for every country in the world and all hardware and software. For software, only open-source can provide protection, whereas hardware requires a diverse supply chain.

Good episode.

#EuPol #digitalsovereignty

Europe defends digital rights, fairness and autonomy.

Open a laptop. Turn on a phone.

You are in a digital room that answers to laws written elsewhere. In every office across the continent, the EU has no direct reach over the operating systems that we use in our daily life.

What would it mean for the bloc to reclaim digital sovereignty?
Could Europe build a shared system instead of living inside imported ones?
