I think Europe should go full Nostr and dump the FANGS.
Sort of the way they arrived too late for beepers and went straight to mobile phones.

Was about to read the article you linked earlier. I'd missed the story where EU person lost access to email!
ICC prosecutor, not "EU person" 😅
I wish all of them lost access to everything.
Serves them right.
Yeah, okay, but then why would we want to use American stuff? If someone in America doesn't like us, they can just turn off our Internet.
Yup.
But look at what is happening at ICANN and the other low-level hardware connection points on the backbones. It's REALLY not hard to shut things down in a hurry.
ICANN headquarters is in California. Same as everything.
Presidential global Internet kill switch is in Florida.
Yes, but ICANN isn't strictly under US control now, which more than a little pisses me off, since we are still one of the few cuntries that still gives lip service to freedom.
Random EU Person.
Also, Crown Prosecutor from Scottland, the Queen's Council, and lawyer working in Den Haag.
Probably nothing.
Yeah haha. You added the "random" btw, but I did imply it. Not a good look, surprised I didn't hear more about it
The best part of the story is that he started preparing the arrest warrants and was almost finished, when he got hit with a surprise sexual misconduct allegation and had to step down due to the investigation.

Reminds me of Julian Assange, Clarence Thomas, Dominique Strauß Kahn, etc. Anytime a man shows any backbone, some chick shows up and he gets taken down.
Furreals. Guess it's a good tactic to quickly sway public and media. I was too young to appreciate the Thomas defamation fully, but the clips I've seen of him speaking since make me feel bad for bandwagoning and making the standard jokes about him at the time
It's the perfect crime to accuse men of because most people will just assume it's true, you don't need any concrete evidence of wrongdoing, and you can always choose to drop the charges, later.
You can always dredge up some chick and encourage her to tell her friends that some dude gave her the ick.
Man, they really did him dirty. If I got the broad strokes right, over a year ago he heads up warrants for war crime against Bibi. A couple weeks later he has to step aside for sex scandal reasons. Then recently he gets email yoinked?! (Guessing he was still up to something).
It is. What it is.
They're talking about spending 3 trillion Euros to replace stuff like Office365 and GitHub with European versions and it's like....
ooooooooorrrrr....
Getting it for free makes it sound like it could make it difficult to funnel insane amounts of money to your friends.
What is there for free is simply not good enough
Good luck. Currently, the EU is enraptured by the European Digital Identity Wallet.
We don't have the same terror financing laws and Homeland Security Department, so they have to figure out something else.
The eulag stands against censorship resistance
But also against corporate data collecting and tech-corp monopolies.
