Can, should the #EU step in with filling the gap left behind by #MITRE & #CVE ?

Sure: this is clearly for the public good, and plays nicely with the work on #CRA #PLD #NIS2 etc.

A key problem is the sheer velocity: destruction via tyranny&fascism is fast, building up structures via democratic processes relatively slow.

The EU needs a Fast Track Program to respond to the chaos of the US. The time is ... yesterday.

#DigitalSovereignity needs #StructuralPower

"Who enforces digital standards such as those that come from the #IETF or the #W3C?
In a few cases, it is state power (e.g. accessibility in some jurisdictions) but that's rare. In some other cases, it's market discipline… But most of the important areas of the #digitalsphere have stopped being open, competitive markets over a decade ago so that the market no longer has a credible disciplining function to enforce #standards. What matters is who has the #structuralpower to deploy the standards they want to see and avoid those they dislike."

Robin BerjonDigital SovereigntyDigital sovereignty has a bad reputation. In internet governance circles, sovereignty is considered awkward enough to be referred to by as the "s-word." It is often associated with misguided attempts at returning to the era of national champions, like building a French search engine or a European Google, or worse with the eternal boogeyman that is the "splinternet." It doesn't have to be this way!

Europe's digital sovereignty is in the spotlight!

The Dutch government is debating sovereign cloud solutions, and universities are already piloting #Nextcloud as an alternative to Big Tech.

Could this be the start of a European Plan B? The shift to #opensource collaboration-friendly platforms is gaining momentum.

@theregister I can't follow. The risks did not change that much with #Trump. 🤔

Dependency to the #cloud was a bad move in many cases already before. It wasn't about risks, it was about prioritizing money as long as #outsourcing was cheaper. Now, companies often aren't in a position to self-host any more because we've lost #knowhow or resources.

You can blame many things on Trump but not this.

It is no longer safe to move our governments and societies to US clouds
berthub.eu/articles/posts/you-

"And maybe, once in a while, European governments should have the guts to actually attempt to buy something else. Innovation doesn’t just happen without the promise of revenues. Spending just 1% on alternatives would mean billions of euros.

That’s a very small price to pay for a society that isn’t 100% dependent on “MAGA”, Donald Trump and Elon Musk. The world is far too dangerous for that."
