🎦 Our #Fediverse talks from #SFSCon are live.

I gave a talk about our existing building blocks of public-interest digital infrastructures like #Matrix #Wikimedia projects and #socialnetworks and how they are relevant to establish real and long term #digital #sovereignty. ✨

To finish, we have #Macron. #Sovereignty? Nah, what he wants is:

* less regulation
* a "smaller", "risk-based" #GDPR
* postpone 1 year the #AIAct obligations for big tech

With a straight face, he recommends these anti-sovereingty measures as things that somehow will be good for our tech sovereignty....

At least he puts emphasis on enforcing #DMA, and make sure that hyperscalers comply with it.

He also defends EU-first public procurement, but his examples are SAP and Mistral (and their non-interoperable solutions)...

Finally, he things it is important to speed up AI adoption, going as far as saying that next year instead of a digital sovereignty summit we'll have an AI summit...

No, not finally! To finish, he wants to "protect the children"! We all know where that one leads...

At the individual scale, self-hosting is not a good way to “be in control of my data.”

It’s like saying I do a vegetable garden to be in control of my food. I need much more than I can grow, it’s an inefficient use of my time, and I’m one bad season away from losing it all.

Resilience and transparency are key to be in control of my data and I can’t achieve this alone. This is a social problem, we need to bring solutions as a society.
