The #US imposes 30% of #UStariffs to the #EuropeanUnion. According to Politico, the Commission is ready to retaliate. EU OS believes that a European response with Tariffs on US BigTech services (or all services that face trade deficits) would make so much more sense if the EU had alternatives for those in place. This is why #EU_OS, #EuroStack and #DigitalSovereignty is important. It offers more leverage.

"Microsoft, tactically admitting it has failed at talking all the Windows 10 PC users into moving to #Windows11 after all, is – sort of, kind of – extending Windows 10 support for another year.

For most users, that means they'll need to subscribe to #Microsoft365. This, in turn, means their data and meta-information will be kept in a US-based datacenter. That isn't sitting so well with many #EuropeanUnion (#EU) organizations and companies."
