Over 74% of European businesses rely on US tech. This is an unsustainable situation, an obstacle for European innovation, and a threat to European sovereignty.
"#Proton’s latest analysis reveals the extent of Europe’s dependence on US-based tech, and the results are alarming. We found that 74% of Europe’s publicly listed companies rely on US-based tech like #Google and #Microsoft." 1/3

Tech does not deserve special legal treatment
Pulling down regulatory barriers to aid innovation ignores the fact that they protect the public from harm
“It is time we demand that the tech sector comply with the same laws as everyone else. Only when technology businesses compete on a level legal playing field will we see how inevitable their innovations really are.” https://on.ft.com/4oiBsBD
