I agree with opposing #BigTech capture. But from an #EU perspective, rejecting any #EUTech effort often just hands all power to the #US and a few other countries.
How do you rationalize that tradeoff?
Is there a point where some sacrifice is needed so Europe can regain agency, while better #SmallTech / #PublicInterestTech solutions are still being built?
Towards the end of 2025, we saw realisation across Europe and beyond of the danger of reliance on US technologies. In 2026, we'll keep the pressure on, highlighting and building true, non-American, alternatives to community technology. #SocialMedia #EUTech #DigitalSovereignty
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.

Western leaders have appeased Donald Trump since he returned to power, only to be hit with new demands after every concession.
On Tuesday, Trump declared economic war on countries that regulate its tech companies. It’s time for the world to break from the US and aggressively target Silicon Valley.

For years, countries accepted their dependence on US tech companies. That needs to change.
On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with Cecilia Rikap to discuss why it’s so important for governments to champion digital sovereignty that puts people first.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump has brought me to my breaking point with US tech.
I’m going to keep pushing for governments to get serious about digital sovereignty, but in the meantime I’m looking for non-US alternatives — and will have more on what I’ll be using instead soon.
