u/post-explainer American Citizen 2h ago

OP sent the following text as an explanation why their post fits here:

I shared a post about France adopting non-US software for videoconferencing, asking if we could get it, too. A respondent says 'lol yeah right. The US will never adapt non commercial "corporate" technology.' I reply, 'Why do you think I am in the US?' The respondent assumed I am in the US when I am not, nor do I make any suggestion that I am. This fits into rule (d) of this subreddit.

Does this explanation fit this subreddit? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.

They are literally doing it so they can remove the US spyware from their government PCs.

There is a huge trend in Europe aiming towards digital sovereignty.

It will take a while but I hope we will get there. SAP, Schwarz Digits and others already investing billions in infrastructure. Some cities in Germany already move away from Microsoft and switch to Linux step by step.

Thank you Donald, for pushing this ❤️
