Europe should create and operate public messaging and microblogging platforms as a civil service to protect democracy and digital sovereignty. Thoughts?

ist im Prinzip nicht falsch, die Lösung liegt aber nicht nur in der Regulierung. Eine europäische digitale Infrastruktur und Plattformen für die Bürger fördert eigene Technologieentwicklungen und löst auch das Problem der vorherrschenden Reichweite der US Plattformen.

Ich wusste bisher nicht, dass Musks Starlink und T-mobile in den USA partnern. Vielleicht möchte man das besser bei der Konzernmutter in Deutschland noch mal überdenken.

Trump’s Aggression Sours Europe on US Cloud Giants
Companies in the EU are starting to look for ways to ditch Amazon, Google, and Microsoft cloud services amid fears of rising security risks from the US. But cutting ties won’t be easy.

Currently I am moving away from my google email account. The email address is our main identity in the internet. I don‘t want it in the hands of a US big tech anymore. Critical dependency.

It is not only our governments but also every individual persons responsibility. We have choices. I am looking at options to replace my google mail account as times get serious. We need to accept that some services in the future won’t come for free anymore if we want digital sovereignty .

Normally, I don’t support state-owned enterprises or government control of media. But owners of platforms like X and WhatsApp are spreading falsehoods and abusing their power to influence global politics.

Signal is a messaging app that is run by a non-profit organisation and works just as well as WhatsApp without turning your conversations into a product for Meta to sell. Telegram is OK but like WA, it is is privately owned and for profit. Don't get monetized, don't work for owners of apps signal.org
Signal Messenger: Speak Freely
Say "hello" to a different messaging experience. An unexpected focus on privacy, combined with all of the features you expect.

Habe gerade die Inaugurationsrede von Trump gehört. Es macht mich fassungslos. Wir stürzen zurück ins Mittelalter. Alte transatlantische Werte, Bündnisse und Freundschaften zählen nicht mehr. Und er meint es wahrscheinlich auch noch ernst.

This photo taken this morning in Esslingen - Germany. Elon made a big mistake. If Germans wrote this stickers on their Tesla cars, probably Tesla sales will drop a lot in EU. Especially while they are so sensitive about data security.
