The article is about servers. They want a European version of AWS/Microsoft/Google instead of “outsourcing” their data.

How do you propose to fight it? Everybody acts in their self interest all the time.

Having kids is not a social norm (at least not in every case). Who are you or any politician to decide how many kids can a couple have? Even if it only is fear mongering, I bet you this will be a political discussion in some years.

I know population will decline, but not as a policy. If it happens naturally then it's perfectly ok. The fact that politicians get to decide how many kids or even if you can have kids is a scary thought.

Family planning how? Who will decide who can have children and who can't? Governments? A global one child policy? That's insane

What about traditional media lying all the time? By citing "sources" journalists can say whatever they want without any kind of accountability. This is just old media crying for losing to new media platforms.

Why do people define CS as coding? Computer Science is much more than just coding, it’s a science. At a higher level CS involves a lot of mathematics and statistics. Coding is just a tool for a computer scientist as a hammer is a tool for a

We are not talking about environmental externalities here. That’s another issue altogether. B What are the negative externalities of AWS and the likes? You cannot compare pears with apples.

“For the benefit of the society” How would you measure that? Does paying more for a worse product and raising the price of the better one benefits society? If the product was better it would already be in the market.

No, morality is not subjective. What do you mean by unwanted externalities? Unwanted by who?

Because protectionism isn’t only economically bad but also immoral. You can’t force everybody else to pay higher prices. Supporting your own companies at the expense of the rest of the society isn’t good. You’ll be forcing consumers to pay

With that argument, protectionism will incentivise competition. So why don’t we close the economy a bit?

Aren't they already taxed in Ireland, another EU country? Isn't this double taxation?
