I do not have any positive take on the Franco-German sovereignty summit. Yes, they do not throw the DMA under the omnibus, but apart from that it is an agenda that puts frontier AI before infrastructure, profits before people, EU before global antifascist resistance. And: They still do not even address the core of Big Tech dependence. EU startups are subject to their control through investments and research agendas. Pouring more money into them cements dependence.

 "The single defining feature of modern capitalism is that it acts like the party is almost over. So why stop now?" I still remember when that dawned on me when reading Graeber's Debt 🀯 People have been saying they are in late-stage capitalism for decades, if not centuries. It is 100% intuitive that growth and expansion cannot go on forever. But debt as an engine of growth has locked people/organisations/states into extractive behaviour. Strongly recommend the book and the podcast series! View quoted note β†’
"Both Google and Apple recently removed Red Dot, an app people can use to report sightings of ICE officials, from their respective app stores [...] Google told 404 Media it removed apps because they shared the location of what it describes as a vulnerable group that recently faced a violent act connected to these sorts of ICE-spotting appsβ€”a veiled reference to ICE officials." Who is vulnerable and who is at risk? Google joins Apple in executing fascism.
