A cross-party parliamentary commission aims to end dependence on US tech giants and increasingly rely on European open-source solutions.
I hope they follow through with it. And I also hope they allow for quick incremental changes instead of aiming for the perfect solution right away that will take a decade to develop and implement. Just to be clear, I think it should be the far goal to be fully independent from US and other non-EU software.
It makes strategic sense to decouple from American tech now that they know we’ere an unreliable ally. Microslop won’t guarantee your data won’t go through American servers and jurisdictions. It’s also resistance to Tariff wars and Greenland bullshit that pokes the US in it’s conspirator industry, Big Tech.
A break, not a breakthrough.

Calm down. It’s only about the IT operations of the parliament itself.
Not the whole country.
