Europe is going down an incredibly dark path. Political censorship, encryption bans, and absurd consumer "protection" laws (e.g., like those limiting AI rollouts) mean Europeans are becoming second class globally. The irony of this post is that it is no longer safe for Europeans to rely on a European cloud.


Despite these problems Europe is still the better place to live in compared to "global leaders" like USA, Russia or China. Because limiting AI rollouts is not really relevant for your quality of live, social security, health, safety, sanity etc.
