“The backlash against US tech companies, and the global market dependencies on the American tech stack, is part of a broader recognition that technology is not neutral, and that the companies that produce and shape this ecosystem have social and political interests in addition to their financial interests”

Rest of World

The world is trying to log off U.S. tech

Some global users are turning to services like Proton Mail and UpScrolled instead.

@homlett

Words are fine, action is a lot better we have alternatives, we have the ability to do pretty much everything without US tech., so we just need to get on with it.

Sure, not everything is perfect. I would hope this push also leads to investment, so people have the finance to make the alternatives better for everyone so they can replace big tech,

@zleap Yes. Investments, and public sector adoption and promotion.
