All Europeans 🇪🇺<p>"There is virtually no difference between digital sovereignty and true sovereignty"</p><p>In a op-ed published in Le Monde 🇫🇷 (French daily newspaper) this morning, Andy Yen, CEO of Swiss technology company Proton 🇨🇭 argues that Europe's reliance on foreign technology is undermining its sovereignty and economic independence.</p><p>He writes:</p><p>"Reducing our dependence on American and Chinese technologies is the first step towards regaining our sovereignty. If we require our schools and universities to stop buying American technologies, we will stop tying our children's future to these ecosystems. By stimulating demand for European technologies, we are promoting the creation of well-paid jobs here in Europe. These would be European companies that would pay their taxes in Europe, support our social protection systems, and fill public deficits. It is an investment in our collective future."</p><p>This goes beyond a simple boycott. 👀 </p><p>See full op-ed here: (paywall)<br><a href="https://www.lemonde.fr/idees/article/2025/04/21/il-n-y-a-pratiquement-aucune-difference-entre-souverainete-numerique-et-souverainete-veritable_6598402_3232.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">lemonde.fr/idees/article/2025/</span><span class="invisible">04/21/il-n-y-a-pratiquement-aucune-difference-entre-souverainete-numerique-et-souverainete-veritable_6598402_3232.html</span></a></p><p>Read it in English (no paywall): <a href="https://mensuel.framapad.org/p/r.6c10e847cbbc391d020e2cdcc1232be1" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mensuel.framapad.org/p/r.6c10e</span><span class="invisible">847cbbc391d020e2cdcc1232be1</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/BuyEuropean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BuyEuropean</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/BuyFromEU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BuyFromEU</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/EuropeanAlternatives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EuropeanAlternatives</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/proton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>proton</span></a></p>

All Europeans 🇪🇺<p>Resurrecting Qwant: New Owners Bet On GenAI To Provide Answers</p><p>Excerpt:</p><p>"Frankly, in 2019, building a search engine was not affordable for Qwant and it never was," he said. "The mistake was not to explain that and try to hide it. Qwant has been focused on privacy. And the team had worked hard on a solution with Microsoft that meant it didn't share data with Microsoft."</p><p>Even now, New Qwant will need a 3rd party to help with long-tail search results. Still, the transformation at New Qwant was underway when Microsoft dropped a bomb: It was dramatically raising its search API rates. This change also hit other search engines like Ecosia that relied on Bing.</p><p>"18 months ago, Microsoft changed access to Bing's search API," he said. "They increased the price without any good reason. All of us realized that we were so dependent on Microsoft that their strategy change could kill us. We decided we should not be in the passenger side but that we should be in the driver's seat."</p><p>So Qwant and Ecosia teamed up to create a 50-50 joint venture called the European Search Perspective (EUSP). Qwant will transfer the search indexing infrastructure it was building as well as some of its engineers and data scientists. Ecosia is making a cash contribution."</p><p><a href="https://frenchtechjournal.com/resurrection-qwant-second-life/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">frenchtechjournal.com/resurrec</span><span class="invisible">tion-qwant-second-life/</span></a><br><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Qwant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Qwant</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Ecosia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ecosia</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/SearchEngine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SearchEngine</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/EuropeanAlternatives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EuropeanAlternatives</span></a></p>
