don't create a European Silicon Valley. look at what's happened here and understand that letting finance drive tech is a mistake

In my opinion, the only way to protect our European values is to ban all American technology in Europe within five years, not only for consumers but also for government authorities and companies.
Okay, but it doesn't seem like the EU will have the pacing or the drive to apply this. There has been serious backlash over Dutch government agencies switching to US tech, but the orders have been put in and they're not rolling them back.
will they though?
