#DigitalSovreignty is not a "nice to have". It's not "a little treat". It is of dire necessity to ensure the safety and security of people.
Your country has no power to judicially deal with foreign entities, so once that data and processing goes over the border, your rights are forfeit.
Believing a company outside of said country won't harvest and sell your data because you pay them a subscription fee is naive.
Believing "you've got nothing to hide" makes no sense if you're Anne Frank.
One thing that should also be made clear is that most people in #tech enjoy some sort of #conflictofinterest.
Anything that requires solutions beyond the current norm is "a waste of time", because they are selling the norm.
Making money as a #middleman is the goose that lays a golden egg and anything challenging that is a threat.
Some people would like to keep the exploitative market precedents set by big corporations because of the possibility that "it might be them some day".
#sycophancy and #Boygroups are the norm in the #tech industry, and with that, you get a lot of dancing around the lillies, shoulder rubbing, ego messaging, pissing contests, humble bragging and low key demoralization disguised as "intellectual discourse".
This is what defines the cult like environments found in #siliconvalley and is the type of nepotistic grouping that ultimately leads to corruption.
At the end of the day #DigitalSovreignty is downplayed because people are generally #oppertunists, whether they know it - or not. They'll demoralize and denigrate people from a gutteral level.
I'm not saying I'm exempt "by default". We're all human. But ridding ourselves of #material concerns when dealing with public infrastructure is paramount to our interests as #democracies, believers in #humanrights and the #decentralizationprinciple.
