Hi @HennaVirkkunen,
Great to see you on this democratic, value driven, sovereign microblogging platform under #EU jurisdiction. Great to see you on #Mastodon! Welcome!
Could you invite Ursula von der Leyen onto Mastodon? That would be a very clear statement regarding #digitalsovereignty and independence of #BigTech.

De Duitsers riepen vandaag uit tot Digital Independence Day (https://di.day).
Om hier een bescheiden bijdrage aan te leveren heb ik een aantal besturen binnen de scoutingonderdelen waar ik mee te maken heb een mail gestuurd waarin ik ze aanbied om mee te denken over dit onderwerp.
Geen idee of het onderwerp al voldoende leeft om opvolging te krijgen, maar het aanbod ligt er.

European companies ARE ready to help people and organizations with #DigitalSovereignty. Here 2 great examples 👇
1. The French Ministry of Education provides cloud storage for 1.2 million employees using Nextcloud architecture: https://www.cio-online.com/actualites/lire-l-education-nationale-offre-le-stockage-cloud-a-ses-1-2-million-d-agents-sans-gafam-16726.html
