Europeans seek 'digital sovereignty' as US tech firms embrace Trump

Here are some stats from the article:

"Use in Europe of Swiss-based ProtonMail rose 11.7% year-on-year to March compared to a year ago, according to Similarweb, while use of Alphabet's Gmail, which has some 70% of the global email market, slipped 1.9%.

Similarweb data shows the number of queries directed to Ecosia from the European Union has risen 27% year-on-year and the company says it has 1% of the German search engine market.

Signal, a messaging app run by a U.S. nonprofit foundation, has also seen a surge in installations from Europe. Similarweb's data showed a 7% month-on-month increase in Signal usage in March, while use of Meta's WhatsApp was static."

It would be nice to have more growth statistics from 6 months after the BuyFromEU movement gained momentum. 馃檪

their 2-criteria ( for partnering ) *doesn't* include "are these people backing genociding", obviously..

just providing a bit of perspective, on how we've only got "choice", between "alternatives", & not any sort of *actual* alternatives, now..
