Honestly as an EU citizen... On one side there is no real development of a better IT infra to surpass/came back the giant data-centers model, witch means toward a real old-new connected desktop-centric IT AND there are not real EU competitors for many services from USA companies, so one one side EU do not really want to led again in tech nor to create a new and better IT. On the other side EU commission prove to be as oppressive and not representative of their Citizens interests as USA Gov for USA Citizens witch means that beside the formal democratic dress the substance is a neoliberal economically-driven dictatorship who tend as fast as it can to the Chinese model. We still have less ineffective justice, more protective norms, but differences are waning more and more. Swapping crappy and bad USA services that at least are battle tested with more crappy and even worse EU services does not help Citizens at all. For me until enough intellectual and techies rise training enough common citizens to IMPOSE BY LAW mandatory FLOSS and mandatory open hardware that makes the actual model not really sustainable we will not get anything really better. It's like those who flee GitHub for GitLab because "we do not want Microsoft" as if any other for-profit company would be better by magic. The real target should be surpassing the actual web model. not swapping an evil actor with another who being based on the very same principles will clearly be the very same.
