#techsovereignty

🌍 The EU has just published its "Tech Sovereignty" package, and Open Source is at the heart of the strategy! The European Commission has finally placed free and open-source software at the center of its digital ambitions. This is a historic recognition of the values we defend every day on the Fediverse. 🏛️ What if you joined the conversation on a platform that concretely embodies this digital sovereignty? 👉 European Network Dynamics is a federated, open-source social network powered by Friendica, offering you what major platforms simply cannot guarantee: ✅ Your data belongs to you, hosted on independent servers ✅ No advertising algorithm dictates what you see ✅ You are connected to the entire Fediverse (Mastodon, Pixelfed, PeerTube, Hubzilla, and many more) ✅ Friendica respects open standards ActivityPub and OStatus ✅ An engaged community, with no lock-in and no commercial surveillance 💬 Because talking about technological sovereignty on an American proprietary platform is a bit contradictory, isn't it? Join us now and be part of a decentralized, open, and European internet, true to the open-source values that the EU itself recognizes today. 🚀 social.netdynamics.eu #TechSovereignty #OpenSource #Fediverse #Friendica #DigitalSovereignty @osi@social.opensource.org

The @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu just released a statement positioning open source as central to #Europe’s #TechSovereignty. We couldn’t agree more. #OpenSource is critical to a robust and independent society.

UK digital sovereignty, if done right, could ensure we have a thriving software ecosystem. Ecological digital sovereignty is where digital systems are diverse, interoperable, locally adaptable, and not controlled by any single point of power.

We must end the UK's digital subservience to US tech. It has put the systems that underpin our public services and the State at risk of digital ransom from US powers of service withdrawal or data extraction. We need a Digital Sovereignty strategy based on open source.

Burnham could hoof Palantir out of the NHS if he becomes PM. A good start, but he needs to go further. It’s time to completely break our dependency on US tech firms. With open source tech, we don't have to start again with a new platform when changing vendors. Go big, go for UK Digital Sovereignty! https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2026/07/02/burnham-set-to-ditch-palantir-from-nhs/ #digitalsovereignty #techsovereignty #nhs #burnham #palantir #bigtech #opensource #ukpolitics #ukpol

Handing out contracts to Big Tech platforms is a rip off. If we don't like the over-charging, tax-dodging and exporting profits overseas, we face the nightmare of vendor lock-in. They own the software, so love it or lose it. We call for Digital Sovereignty to turn the tide.

Public money should be spent on public code that benefits us all. We call for Digital Sovereignty with open source tech, so we can switch providers without changing systems. End the #BigTechRipOff that keeps us dependent and out of pocket.

The UK's digital infrastructure is a strategic asset. But being dependent on US tech firms is a critical weakness. Our systems can be hit with sanctions, our economy is damaged and our tech policy curbed.

The UK's love affair with Big Tech is toxic ☢️ A small bunch of US firms have captured our critical systems from the NHS to defence. We need a #DigitalSovereignty strategy to secure independence and economic growth with open source.
