Calls grow for EU leaders to leave US-owned social media
Original: @ EUCommission Start by getting all # EU leaders OFF of US-oligarch owned social media!
A European Commission post is drawing criticism from users demanding that EU leaders quit social media platforms owned by US billionaires. The argument: the bloc should reduce its dependence on American tech giants and support European alternatives before lecturing others on digital sovereignty. The sentiment reflects a wider debate in Brussels about Europe's reliance on US-owned platforms.
Why now: Ongoing debate in Europe about digital sovereignty and dependence on US tech platforms.
