From a unitedstatesian: please tell our diplomats to fuck off, emphatically. GDPR is a fucking godsend, and I wish it applied to us over on this side of the pond.
As a Californian damned to live under this shithole of an empire, I would also like to encourage Europeans to tar and feather any and all American diplomats.
Digital Sovereignty make industrial espionage much harder, plus it reduces the profits of the massive companies which grew in the previous Tech evolution wave, which are mainly in the US.
It makes sense, a big part of their economy depends on exploitation, specifically the (mis)use of personal kind. It's only natural that they defend their interests and it's only natural to fight back.
The best way to fight back is for users to stop using as much as possible services and products from big tech companies who gave Trump millions of $. There will be nothing he could do about it 🖕
There is definitely something happening to that effect. A lot of people have been pushing for sovereignty for quite some time and they have wind in their sails currently.
The thing is, there is nothing complicated about the kind of services that make US tech billions. Cloud email and docs and drives are solved problems mostly, and they can be replicated almost trivially.
Sorry. You are being bad to us(eu) so we don't trust you anymore. It is actually you US that need to change to fix the problem and start fighting Trump - he caused all of this.

Eject US diplomats then. The US isn't welcome at the worlds table.

France has already cut off the US ambassador from having contact with government officials.

France so based. I can't believe I talked so much shit of them in the past lmao
Akasazh@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 176d
Tbh the whole French bad thing was because they were based in the past. They didn't want to join Bush' invasion so French fries became freedom fries.

French fries became freedom fries (for about a month, but it was well covered by the media).
myrmidex@belgae.social · 18 pts · 177d
And the US ambassador to Belgium was summoned by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, after which all was settled.
This is not how you deal with fascists.

technically it does.
there's no requirement that vendors have to verify your country of origin and asking for that kinda breaks gdpr.
just request your right to be forgotten and they will just comply.

You hear that, EU? Lean hard into your data sovereignty, if only to piss off America.
Skyrmir@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 176d
That, and the instant this became news, data sovereignty became a national security issue.
DmMacniel@feddit.org · 45 pts · 177d
Data sovereignty seems to be a new war front.

Pesky EU, why can't they just let the US have their cake and eat it too. So unfair /s

EU competitors to AWS probably getting a lot of business from US businesses who don't want Donald Trump reading their data.

I think there is a trend, how don't know how strong it is but there is something. Even some governmental administrations start to make the switch

If your government's official policy is to fight any other nation's or group of nations' "sovereignty initiatives," you're not the good guys.
