They are testing the waters, and nobody on the planet is pushing back. Not the usa, not the uk and not the eu.
That’s untrue. Both the UK and France are looking into developing their own proprietary national software solutions in order to separate from the US tech ecosystem. There’s been extensive reporting on that. Whether or not they get there, we’ll see, but I think it’s eminently fair to say they recognize the danger of being in bed with these motherfuckers.
There’s some truth to that for sure, but Donald has made it abundantly clear that it’s in our allies’ national interest to disentangle their national secrets and private data from US firms.
It’s been interesting watching the UK in particular, with your parliamentary system still effectively devolving into a shitty duopoly like we have here. I hate to think about where your country will be in the next 10-15 years, but even on this side of the pond it’s clear the biggest target is privatizing your health care system.

Couldn’t agree more. It’s just a shame that the UK has a long proud tradition of making big problems out of smaller problems.
