The liberal group in the European Parliament #Renew has an #Instagram campaign for leaving #BigTech platforms. That's cool.

What do you think @bartgroothuis, is that an opportunity to bring some of your colleagues over to the Fediverse?

Great news today the French government have launched their own Visio video conferencing tool #digitalsovereignty

But the PR stories, while explaining it is French built, don't mention it is Open Source and based on LiveKit - so any government can reuse what they have done.

France is ditching Zoom and Microsoft Teams for Visio, its sovereign video platform, across all state administrations by 2027. 🇫🇷💻 Developed by DINUM and hosted on certified French cloud, it boosts security, cuts costs by €1M/year per 100k users, and features AI transcription. A bold digital sovereignty move! cyberinsider.com/france-to-rep… #DigitalSovereignty #FranceTech #Visio #Newz


#DigitalSovereignty from homelab to transnational solutions MUST be based on Open Source/Free Software and Open Standards. And those fundamental building blocks MUST be open to all. From anywhere. One planet. One People. One community. Try to limit on that level and fail. It's the only thing I am hardcore fundamentalist about.

RE: ec.social-network.europa.eu/@H…

Imagine how powerful it would be if von der Leyen, Costa and Kallas made their statements first on a EUROPEAN open, free, non-algorithmically distorted social media network. 🇪🇺✌️

And then later with a 60 minute delay on the account-registration-requiring, data-collecting, algorithmically-distorted US networks?
