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:

Danish newspaper @informeren has a guide to leaving the #UStech giants in #SocialMedia behind this weekend. #DigitalSovereignty
Edit: not just social media, also email, browsers, operating systems and navigation apps among other things.
They do make the point that much of the web is also on US infrastructure though too...

At & The Big Fish, we’re exploring a move to European IT solutions, like;
• TUXEDO OS (instead of Windows)
• ONLYOFFICE (instead of Microsoft Office)
• Nextcloud Hub, EU-hosted (instead of Google Drive)
Admittedly a bit opportunistic and I know large organizations can’t pivot like this easily. But SMEs and startups can!
Using this stack or joining this movement?

#EuroStack aims at Europe's digital sovereignty: With investments of €300 billion in 10 years, Europe should become more independent in areas such as cloud, chips, AI & data. Goal: Promote innovation, reduce dependencies & strengthen value-oriented digitisation.
www.bertelsmann-stiftung.deEuroStack - A European Alternative for Digital SovereigntyMehr als 80 Prozent der digitalen Technologien und Infrastrukturen in Europa stammen aus dem Ausland. 70 Prozent der weltweit eingesetzten Grundmodelle für Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) kommen aus den USA. Lediglich 7 Prozent der globalen Forschungsausgaben im Bereich Software und Internet werden von europäischen Unternehmen getragen. Diese drei Zahlen verdeutlichen eindrucksvoll, wie stark Europa im Bereich der Digitalisierung von anderen Wirtschaftsmächten abhängig ist. Der „EuroStack“ soll der Schlüssel zur digitalen Souveränität und Selbstbestimmung der Europäischen Union werden.
Digital sovereignty needs more than platform regulation: Initiatives such as #NGICommons, the #F5Alliance and #EuroStack call for structural investments in #OpenSource, #Infrastructure, #Interoperability and digital commons – for independence, democracy & innovation in Europe.
netzpolitik.org · Digitale Souveränität und EuroStack: Wie kann Europa digital unabhängiger werden?Cloud-Dienste und Plattformen kommen aus den USA, Mikrochips aus Taiwan, Seltene Erden aus China. Die Digitalisierung hat zu massiven Abhängigkeiten geführt, von denen Europa sich spätestens seit Donald Trumps Amtsantritt lösen will. Welche Konzepte gibt es dafür?
Interesting analysis "Multiple countries in Europe are critically dependent on services provided by Microsoft. Querying mail-servers teaches that in some countries, over 70% of all public services rely on this American provider."

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump forces us to reassess the politics of the internet and challenge our collective dependence on US tech.
On #TechWontSaveUs, I explained what I think are the key takeaways from the current moment in tech and politics.

Strong differences per country (like Belgium has a Microsoft dependency that Germany and Austria clearly do not have)

Google, antitrust enforcement and the future of European digital sovereignty.
Google’s antitrust worries are piling up in the US and in Europe.
In recent years, there has been growing concern that Google may be using anticompetitive means to protect and extend dominant positions in core digital markets.
But the Trump administration isn’t pleased with EU regulatory efforts.
