  Counter tariffs are a shot to the feet.

  I like the proposal of Mr. Doctorow more. Legalize reverse engineering and anti-DRM circumventing. Reduce copyright to 25 years tops and don’t recognise software patents at all.

  Good for the local industry, bad for American tech.

  Win-win

  It goes far beyond e-commerce.

  Most European banks have moved part of their core to the cloud. DORA requires banks to have at least two cloud providers for their core services. Most of those providers are controlled by the Americans.

  Yeah, of course it would be a declaration of war. The question is what we would do in that situation.

  DORA should be amended so at least one of the cloud service providers should be European, or, alternatively, on prem. Tje European countries should provide themselves of legal and technical tools to seize the US-controlled vital infrastructure if necessary.

  But what I read coming from Brussels is jus the usual shit.

  I’d go any day with something controlled by the ECB instead of the CCP.

  And don’t have any special antipathy vs the Chinese.

  Don’t even need ‘savings’. Depending on US controlled companies is an existential risk.

  Or the European TARGET system. Already in place, and works like a charm.

  We also need to get rid of dependency on USA tech companies. Right now the POTUS can shut down the European economy with an EO ordering cloud providers to stop servicing European banks.

  Not easy, it will require extreme protectionist measures to allow European alternatives to thrive. It will be expensive and will probably induce a recession. But the alternative is way worse.

  Put out an international arrest warrant against him NOW. That is calling to violence. He should be put behind bars as soon as he leaves the Nazi country he lives in.

  Could anyone explain to me what’s happening there like I was 5 years old?

  I vote for 2016. The unthinkable happened.
