The closure of Lavabit by the US Govt in 2013 should have been a wake up call to start divesting EU depencency from US infrastructure.
Nobody in the EU should trust US owned infra any more than Russian infra. No company officers, facilities, equipment or financial services should be US assets if you want to keep your data safe.

@marleenstikker looking at the documents I can read that this subpoenea is already active at least since February 2025 !?!
Is this correct? -
@marleenstikker Europe needs to hit back as hard as we can. Divest every cent and if necessary, nationalize Internet infrastructure that is physically located in Europe.
The USA cannot be considered an ally anymore, not even an unreliable one.@tkissing @marleenstikker Europe needs to consider the US government an enemy. As should the people of the United States.

@marleenstikker stop doing business with the US stop accepting US VC money stop letting US banks trade in your markets stop taking US loans stop buying US products stop using US-based tech

@marleenstikker what shocks me is that they qualify the European Commission and European member states as "foreign censors" (WHAAAAAT)?

But we (the Netherlands) still store our data on servers of Amazon and Microsoft. If the Orange dictator gets mad he can order these companies to block all data. We are só screwed. And so stupid!

@marleenstikker Dear @EUCommission, this will be the last wake up call you get. You need to get rid off any American technology dependency by yesteryear!
Now is the time to start investing in open source technology. Otherwise US big tech will cut your throat while you're still alive. -

@marleenstikker So, if I get it right, the mentioned tech companies have to open up all correspondence they've had with EU officials? That sounds insane.
@Erika @marleenstikker @vicgrinberg worse:
They've to hand over anything they ever communicated on them…

@marleenstikker Slightly confusing, as using secure communications between EU officials makes sense, but this subpoena is about communications with EU officials.
Makes no sense to use secure communications there.
The fact these companies cannot be trusted to keep anything handled by them secret, is another problem all together.

@marleenstikker the silver lining is that with the next US elections being in the remote future, EU politicos can no longer revert to their habitual stupor, in the hope of some "reversion to normal" that will relieve them of actually having to act with intelligence and purpose.
A gross strategic miscalculation around all things digital that spans decades is now extracting its toll. Nothing to do but build a real alternative, whatever it takes.

@marleenstikker Although it prompted a sharp intake of breath when I read the article this action is not surprising in the context of the classified documents that Edward Snowden made public in 2013.
What is surprising is that the US authorities have made these requests public as the Snowden leaks showed that such demands for information were handled by secret courts.
It seems to me that this is designed to make the EU in general and individual EU officials feel as uncomfortable as possible.
