I think that, in the current circumstances, dissociation from all US based tech (and that includes machinery and weaponry) is simply prudent.
And the UK military's contracts with Palantir should be got rid of immediately.

Now that the Orange One is threatening new tariffs until Greenland is sold out it is high time to make @pluralistic idea of repealing anti-circumvention laws such as The European Copyright and Information Society Directive. It would be a powerful and creative way to strike back at US imperialist expansionism.

"Thanks to Trump's incontinent belligerence, we are on the cusp of a 'Post-American Internet,' a new digital nervous system for the 21st century. An internet that we can build without worrying about America's demands and priorities…The US trade representative has forced every one of its trading partners to adopt #anticircumvention law, to facilitate the extraction of their own people's data and money by American firms…But there's a…response… that's just sitting there, begging to be tried: what about repealing anticircumvention law?"

Cory Doctorow continues to present a winning strategy for those that want to cut down American tech giants and increase people's freedom:

Use Trump's tariffs to delete the anti-circumvention laws that protect US tech.

US trade partners should move forward with this immediately. Even better if we have a wave of nations doing it all together.

"- ultimately, breakups and fines and interoperabilty mandates are all forms of redistribution – a way to strip the companies of the spoils of their decades-long looting spree. That's a laudable goal, but if we want to get there, we must start with predistribution: halting the companies' ongoing extraction efforts, by getting rid of the laws that prevent other technologists from unfucking their products..." @pluralistic
