Regulation isn't enough, we need our own European infrastructure." https://porcini.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:izttpdp3l6vss5crelt5kcux&cid=bafkreiberwt4rxlzvswjrm4rncvz66zqrry6y3ujnmhwz66f2bqgj77q5y

"Just as the [EU] seeks to reduce its reliance on external providers for semiconductors, cloud computing, & AI, it must do the same for social media. (…) Their proprietary infrastructure (…) shapes our lives, from the news we see to the way we speak online." [www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/e...](
