A dark, dystopian digital illustration symbolizing the grip of Big Tech on Europe in the year 2025.
At the top, the year "2025" is displayed in large, gritty text. Below it, a giant, shadowy arm extends from the darkness on the right, labeled "BIG TECH." The hand grips a technological puppeteering device featuring a glowing red eye and a digital brain, suggesting surveillance and algorithmic control.
From this device, numerous data cables or strings dangle down towards a map of Europe. These strings are attached to small icons representing personal data: envelopes (email), speech bubbles (communication), and image files (photos), implying that these personal assets are being manipulated from above.
In the center of the map, a classical building—resembling a courthouse or government institution—is overlaid with a large, bright red "X" and the glowing text "ACCESS DENIED," representing the blocking of essential services or institutions.
Surrounding the entire European map is a heavy metal chain held together by padlocks, symbolizing a digital blockade, captivity, or a lack of sovereignty. The overall color palette is deep blue and black, with the red "X" and the red robotic eye serving as alarming focal points.
