    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.

    You hear that, EU? Lean hard into your data sovereignty, if only to piss off America.

      That, and the instant this became news, data sovereignty became a national security issue.

          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).

        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.

    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.

    Well, duh!

    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.
