French Judge's Digital Exclusion Reveals US Influence

Judge Nicolas Guillou of the International Criminal Court faces significant digital exclusion due to US sanctions over arrest warrants for Israeli leaders. The sanctions mean his accounts with US firms like Amazon and PayPal are closed, and he struggles with basic transactions as US companies dominate global finance and tech sectors. Guillou suggests the EU should block such sanctions to ensure digital sovereignty and protect the rule of law. He advocates for stronger EU regulations to prevent the enforcement of US-imposed sanctions within Europe.
