Attended a great talk yesterday at @dedependance hosted by Nuria Ribas Costa with @Mer__edith and Evelyn Austin ( @bitsoffreedom) about #Signal, AI and Europe's "Big Tech Initiatives" (amongst other things).

They had an interesting perspective on how Europe can catch up on the US with regards to Big Tech, "the cloud"¹, hyperscalers, etc.

Their perspective was: should we even want this? Should we want to copy the US's Big Tech template and perhaps end up like them?
