Would be nice if the EU commission acted like it. Meaning:
- ditching #chatcontrol for good, along with all other ways of mass surveillance, like (european versions of) #Palantir.
- actually enforcing fines against #BigTech instead of halting it like von der Leyen did with #Google
- not selling our data to usa by #omnibus
- list goes on




LoL:

"Europe is pouring more than €2 billion into sovereign cloud initiatives designed to reduce exposure to US legal reach. The EU's IPCEI-CIS program funds infrastructure development. France qualifies operators under SecNumCloud, a framework with nearly 1,200 technical requirements promising "immunity from extraterritorial laws."

But most datacenters and qualified cloud operators still rely heavily on Intel or AMD processors. And inside those processors sits a computer beneath the computer: management engines operating at Ring -3, below the operating system, outside the control of host security software, persistent even when the machine appears powered off. Under the US Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act (RISAA) 2024, hardware manufacturers count as "electronic communications service providers" subject to secret government orders. "

American AI regulation is working exactly as designed, and what it's designed to do is protect the companies building AI, not the citizens living with its consequences. The EU fined Meta €1.2B for violating data rights. Eight months later, the US revoked AI safety rules.

Is there a realistic path forward for a #digitalEurope that is different from the hostile dystopia engineered by US #bigtech ?

It is unclear, but on this #europeday some thoughts and speculations on whether European #digitalsovereignty is a pie in the sky or something that might actually happen.

First, digital society is built on silicon stuff. In hardware, Europe is at best a small part of a US dominated supply chain. This means debilitating, eventually terminal long-term dependency.

👁️ Meta strikes again.

While the company promised end-to-end encryption on WhatsApp, allegations suggest it may have allowed not only employees, but even third-party contractors to access user messages. ✉️

Meta zeichnet auf Büro-PCs seiner Mitarbeiter Mausbewegungen, Klicks und Tastenanschläge auf – inklusive Screenshots. Zweck: KI-Agenten trainieren, die menschliches Computerverhalten imitieren. In der EU wäre das illegal, in den USA ist es einfach… Unternehmenskultur.

Traumarbeitgeber. 🙃

A new report by Investigate Europe details how US tech giants (incl. Google, Amazon and Meta) aggressively and successfully lobbied EU regulators and politicians to keep the environmental harm caused by their euro-zone datacenters secret from the public.
