    Who do we actually trust?

    Granted, these companies controlling the board of pieces, and the pieces of the board, it is alarming, but without hard and I mean HARD safeguards to this data via legislation we are cooked.

    Europe needs to invest in proper cloud infrastructure. The only European cloud provider that is even remotely comparable to the big 3 is Scaleway, and they’re still like 10 years behind in terms of features.

    Cool!

    Let me know when it’s done, because so far Palantir etc are involved in the EU’s plans.

    I don’t want the US and the EU to be against each other. I want the EU to realize that the US is being controlled by bad actors and to save us the way that the US saved Germany in 1945. As a citizen, I beg of you to check my logic.

        It was. I wasn’t suggesting that the Soviet Union and other Allied Powers shouldn’t be included.

        I am suggesting that there is a major failure currently and many Americans are hoping that the EU can support some kind of fix. I’m not even suggesting it is realistic, but we have no other options.

        The EU is welcome to share that fix with the Soviet Union (…).

      US saved Germany in 1945

      Lol. 8 out of 10 nazi casualties were inflicted by the Soviets. That’s the conservative estimate

        The point of your rebuttal is a dumbed-down version of events. The US and the Soviets both had a part.

        Regardless, neither position changes the point of the post. I’d also hope the EU helps Russia when they fall (again).

          Yes, they both had a part, and the USSR’s part was significantly more important. But I know that might get in the way of your American exceptionalism fantasy.

    Except for the Dutch where the government outsourced the Digid - our national ID and most personal information - to an American firm. Despite concerns from the parliament.

    But the new PM is a lapdog to Trump because his mentor and former PM Rutte, is so far up Trump’s ass, he can cut his tonsils.

      I do agree with most of this, but calling Rutte the mentor of Jetten is simply not true.

      Most of what you say is, though.

    Good. Finland just last year spent some 600 million euros on new AI system running on AWS, built by a USA company, that, once it’s completed, will handle social insurance related applications. If you need something like unemployment benefits, disability/sickness related benefits, etc. all the necessary information required to handle your application will be handed to that system.

    Something the rest of the planet should get behind for all the correct governance and security reasons. Palantir meanwhile has somehow (stupidly) been approved for continuation here in the UK.

      It seems like it’ll be included, it’s affecting all services storing government and healthcare data. Of course, it doesn’t affect private companies so Salesforce will still probably be used elsewhere. Just not in government. The same can be said about other SaaS companies like Cloudflare, Atlassian, and ServiceNow.
