"Some time ago, I attended an event to discuss European digital autonomy and digital dependencies. I accepted the invitation without checking too carefully, and I belatedly found out that most of US big tech was invited as well, and would be presenting their thoughts.Now, even in our gloriously digitally autonomous future, we’ll still be doing business with Microsoft, Google and Amazon. And it is fine if they have a role.However, if we want to discuss how to improve our digital autonomy, employees from US big tech will not usefully contribute to the conversation. They can’t."https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/do-not-invite-big-tech-to-your-digital-autonomy-discussion/#EU #USA #BigTech #DigitalSovereignty #DigitalAutonomy

@GinaNice work 👌@manfredzielinski @BjornW @Mastodon

@BjornW @delta I didn't even know you can videocall with Delta Chat...

Now, of course a #BuyEurope campaign may help mobilise some to Europe, but how do we avoid growing European BigTech in the process? I think the answers lies in combining #commons with #cooperativism and free/libre open source as a precondition. These three traditions bring thousands, hundreds and decades experience to the table respectively, and bringing them together is the sweetspot, the win-win-win, for people, planet and collective profit.@DigitalCoup @andreas @ela

@nextcloud "digital autonomy" is a great term.
