Closing remarks, with allusions to trade policy and  #EuroStack:
 @pluralistic: “I think we’re in the in the first days of the post-American Internet. It may not be a good Internet. But we could make it a good Internet.”
Lina Khan: “We’re going to have to reckon with the question of whether cloud computing should be treated as core infrastructure.”
Cory and Lina for  #PublicAI? 👀

We have @pluralistic in the #4D Conference, talking about how the US Trade Rep always had stopped tech from becoming better public tech. Key example: Anti-Circumvention regulation.
For Trump, the US trading partners are now its rivals and tech companies its key weapons. Ordering the EU to scrap its DMA regulation...
Cory arguing that in order to transition to something like a #EuroStack we need to eliminate the Anti-Circumvention legislation (Art. 6 of Copyright directive). The only realistic way for us to build the tools to extract our data from BigTech platforms.
In the process we enhance product reuse, repair and full use of the DRM'd and protected products we have in our possession (but we are not legally allowed to fully control)
@pluralistic key insight for me was.."We need to make it legal for European technologists to reverse-engineer the American tech platforms' websites and apps so that Europeans can get their data out of America's tech silos and into open, sovereign, privacy-respecting, consumer rights-preserving, worker-protecting #Eurostack versions." Fascinating as ever, sorry never to meet you in #Budapest

"Any business that relies on EUCD 6 is garbage and should be killed with fire. The global champions of this legal sabotage are all American, but the EU companies that copied their business models are also trash and the EU should be terminating them with extreme prejudice." - @pluralistic

Macron criticizes, rightfully, Europe's dependency on American and Chinese technology and the disruption this gives to our social media and democratic process.

Mmmm, let's see if this wonderful #PrivacyCamp25 panel with @parismarx, @alexandrageese, Zuzanna Warso, @eliza and @Ambersinha is able to deconstruct the sadly dominant #Eurostack / #BuyEuropean narrative...
Finally, a breakthrough! Following a letter I initiated in February, The European Commission is backing the #Eurostack initiative to develop alternative European digital solutions.
Looking forward to seeing this turned into concrete action to break free from Trump and tech oligarchs.
Ha Zuzanna Warso from @openfuture starts off with strong words: "Venture Capital is dangerous, it's toxic, it destroys the economy." #PrivacyCamp25
Okay, MEP @alexandrageese seems to agree that the #Eurostack approach risks giving us "more of the same" toxic tech, or something even worse. And that a #BuyEuropean conditionality has no guarantee that the new tech actually works for the public good. #PrivacyCamp25

Robert @rriemann, EU OS project lead, has met yesterday Dirk Schrödter @dirkschroedter, Minister for Digitalization and Head of the State Chancellery Schleswig-Holstein (SH) in Brussels. SH will organise a public tender for a #Linux OS. To be seen to which extend #EU_OS can be reflected in the tender specification! 🤔
