       Wow so French and German government agencies are building a joint #opensource, self-hostable #GoogleDocs replacement. 😲 I would ofc prefer this being built by someone independent and *funded* by the public, but hell this does feel cool nevertheless:https://docs.numerique.gouv.fr/login/#DigitalSovereignty #foss #freesoftware

       For weeks I have been telling reporters that #Trump could have the power to switch off our tech in #Europe. It felt a bit alarmist until I just read that #Microsoft, on the behest of the #US gov, has suspended the email account of Karim Khan, the #ICC chief prosecutor.One of the most important international courts and a legal bulwark against  #genocide, crimes against humanity, and #warcrimes is threatened by #BigTech dependency.https://apnews.com/article/icc-trump-sanctions-karim-khan-court-a4b4c02751ab84c09718b1b95cbd5db3#DigitalSovereignty #FOSS #EthicalTech

       @EUCommission Yes this is true but maybe worth mentioning that the advocacy is done not by the EU Commission but by a tireless civil society like the folks @beuc and @Bundesverband. Also: passenger rights in #CrossBorderRail please and hands off our right to #privacy ! #omnibus #GDPR #ePrivacy #AIAct

       RE: https://eupolicy.social/@DefendDemocracy/116618939872390882"The safety guarantee of European digital infrastructure is not that it’s European but that it’s democratic.European digital infrastructure is presumed to be safer not because of its location, but because of the democratic governance that controls the legal environment in which it operates. The assumption of stable democratic governance is precisely what an authoritarian wave now moving across Europe is putting in doubt."RT: https://eupolicy.social/users/DefendDemocracy/statuses/116618939872390882

       RE: https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EUCommission/116651733534611734It's great that the European Commission take another #DSA non-compliance decision. There is so much infringement of the law out there, this is very necessary.But a 200m EUR fine is laughable. That's worth less than a few days of net profit for #Temu's holding PDD. It could have been 6% of annual global turnover, or 2.8 billion EUR. With these ridiculously low fines the DSA will never be respected by #BigTech. #DigitalServicesActRT: https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/users/EUCommission/statuses/116651733534611734
