EU criticised for hosting software on Microsoft's GitHub

Original: @ agx @ EUCommission It's also ironic, that the # EU hosts their software on # MSGitHub . So much for # digitalSovereign

Commenters are criticising the European Commission for hosting its software on GitHub, a platform owned by the US company Microsoft. Critics call the choice ironic given the EU's stated push for digital sovereignty and independence from big American tech firms, often referred to as GAFAM, and argue the bloc should use European alternatives instead.

Why now: The EU's digital sovereignty agenda clashes with its reliance on a US Big Tech platform, drawing mockery and criticism.
