@malteengeler But then I fail to see a problem :) We have regulations that keeps Big Tech at bay (more or less successful) and a s a side-effect those regulations also help in ensuring we won't grow a domestic abusive Big Tech oligopoly. Win-win and #ThanksEU, I'd say :)

All my domains (20+) are at a EU based registrar (Hosting Concepts B.V. via cloudz.be).
Both my public servers are at EU based hosting companies (netcup and OVH).
My Nextcloud based sharespace (think: dropbox) is at a EU based hosting company (Hetzner).
This is nothing new.. Has been like that since 20+ years. I always wanted to have my digital life close to me, meaning under EU jurisdiction.
(I am not telling you to do as I do, I'm sharing my setup as a FYI)

FTR. Thanks to EU commission president Ursula von der Leyen, the EU has an Italian post-fascist vice-president of the commission even before Donald Trump is inaugurated. #ThanksEU, I guess? :( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raffaele_Fitto

Bavarian data protection agency has instructed Sam Altman's #Worldcoin to implement data deletion possibilities according to the #GDPR. This obviously undermines their lofty goals, so they filed an appeal. Original press release by teh DPA in German at https://www.lda.bayern.de/media/pm/pm2024_08.pdf , a bit more context at https://techcrunch.com/2024/12/19/worldcoin-must-let-europeans-comprehensively-delete-their-data-under-privacy-order/
Michael Will, Präsident Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht: „Mit unserer heutigen Entscheidung setzen wir in einem technologisch anspruchsvollen und rechtlich hochkomplexen Fall europäische Grundrechtsstandards zu Gunsten der Betroffenen durch. Alle Nutzerinnen und Nutzer, die „Worldcoin“ ihre Iris-Daten zur Verfügung gestellt haben, haben künftig uneingeschränkt die Möglichkeit, ihren Anspruch auf Löschung durchzusetzen.“
Austria has finally caved in the council. Romania and Bulgaria join Schengen in 2025! https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/meetings/jha/2024/12/12/ #ThanksEU
No passport control on my flight from Munich to Madrid. Schengen still exists on some routes :) #ThanksEU

EU citizens living in a different EU country (like me, a dutch person, living in Germany) do not have full voting rights, but we can vote on the municipal level and for the EU parliament. Thus it logically follows that if we have at least these limited voting rights, we should definitely be allowed to be active as members of a political party. The court has made this very clear in its decision. Most EU member states already allow this, Poland and Czechia will now have to do too. #ThanksEU

This is what Twitter/X has to publish under the DSA (Digital Services Act). So, once again, #ThanksEU

And again, #ThanksEU. #Apple commits to opening up HCE (Host Card Emulation) access in iPhones and iPads to wallet providers.
That's technobabble for: Apple opens up paying per phone with NFC for more apps, not limiting that functionality to just their own ApplePay solution.
