Given the rise of the boycott USA movement, the 800 billion € for military that may not be spent but not on US arms and the dominating presence of US tech in the EU, how can citizens voice their concern? @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu and @EC_OSPO@ec.social-network.europa.eu are on the fediverse, but the just seem like mouth piece without ears.

What can citizens do? Has the ship sailed already?

      Thanks. I’m curious why @qwant@mastodon.social and @ecosia@mastodon.social aren’t contributing to this and starting their own venture instead.

      @openwebsearcheu@suma-ev.social is your search index the basis for a european search engine? And if so, how does one do so and why aren’t Qwant and/or Ecosia not doing so?

        I guess because they want to make money of it, and don’t publish their source code or algorithm?
