The EU needs to use some of those billions they’re throwing around to heavily incentivize digital startups. I want the possibility to fully detach from US companies before Trumps term ends.
They already fund a lot of open projects. I would rather they do more of that instead of shoving money down the throat of shitty for profit tech startups. Privacy laws are on track to suffer quite a bit in the next few years so we need more lock-in free infrastructure.
You posted your comment on a platform funded by the EU. Not feddit.org or lemm.ee, but lemmy itself (though as I gather sunaurus himself is getting funds for development, the EU isn’t funding instances, though, just the development).

How many “big tech” companies are just benefiting from network effects and don’t really offer something unique and useful?
Network effects could be spurred from institutional efforts, usually with some incentives.
