I can not find anything concrete on sanctions against #USTech that #europe might be discussing, beyond the "diplomatic sources", at least not in this context.

Unsere poltische Elite scheint einfach weitgehend immun gegen Lerneffekte.

Alles egal. Die politische Führung in #Bayern düst lieber im Blindflug erwartbarem Unheil entgegen, sich sicher in unbeschränkter digitaler Freiheit wähnend ... 🙈
Milliarden für #USTech #NoLimits
@ehtron Da scheint es meinem Kenntnisstand nach verschiedene Ansichten zu geben. Manche legen "Unabhaengigkeitstag" auch nach dem Wortsinn aus, und wollen sich nicht von etwas anderem abhaengig machen. Ich persoenlich finde es auch problematisch, den #diday als spezifisch antiamerikanische Initiative aufzufassen, sondern sehe es stattdessen auch als validen Schritt, sich z.B. von #telegram oder #tiktok freizumachen. Davon abgesehen hat es fuer mich wenig mit "Verlassen der grossen #ustech Konzerne" zu tun, zu einem #aws basierten Dienst zu wechseln.
Wie auch immer, ich vielleicht weiss ja jemand anderes einen guten Link. Ich faende es jedenfalls gut, unter eine Initiative, die $zentralisiertermessenger durch #xmpp ersetzen will, nicht als Kontext eine Seite mit #signal Werbung setzen zu muessen, obwohl das ganze eigentlich gut zu digitaler #unabhaengigkeit passt.
Xitter, the dead bird, oppressed the Venezuelan user from posting about the US approaching?

The #USStateDepartment barred five #Europe|ans, including leaders of organisations addressing #digitalhate and a former #EUcommissioner, accusing them of pressuring #UStech firms to #censor #Americanviewpoints. This action is part of the #Trump administration’s campaign against #foreigninfluence over #onlinespeech, utilising immigration law. The five individuals were identified by the under secretary of state for public diplomacy, Sarah Rogers. https://apnews.com/article/state-department-trump-immigration-rubio-visas-87c8a4692f3184e4f83fdd8ed5093886?eicker.news #tech #media #news
This is a very complicated way to say the tech bros are fascists and their idols want fascism.
They could’ve saved a lot of time if they had simply compared these assholes to the heads of 3M, IBM, and Ford Motor Company back when Hitler and Mussolini were a thing. They’re fucking fascists. Full stop.
"So now we have tariffs, and if someone threatens to burn your house down unless you follow orders, and then they burn it down anyway, you really don't have to keep following their orders.”

We are in for a world of hurt before this gets better.
Speech by Cory Doctorow - meant for Canada, but applies well to Europe.
With that Mindset living in China is preferable to living under #Palantir Surveillance...
It's really impressive how #USTech recently makes #China look like a better and better place by the day.
(Also don't forget that a lot of the rich people already went to Singapore, so it's also quite cheap talks for them. Anyone know if the Palantir CEO is also having a residency in Singapore?)

This is very cool, those awesome crazy Danes have launched a #UStech free platform for finding and promoting live music events in Copenhagen. Check out how to use it here
And the best thing is you can follow it in your #Fediverse feeds.
