I did a little bit of digging and found a thread on Reddit.

So I just sent that to him. Thanks

Thanks for the reply, I suggested that to him, but he says he doesn’t know anybody.

No doubt she backs him mainly due to his anti-Islam views. She is heavily pro-Israel and anti-Palestine as shown in many of her videos.

I know WhatsApp belongs to Meta and is handing over all my data to the US, Israel, Iran, China, the Vatican, and Mars, but for personal reasons, I can’t ditch it right now

You can y’know… - Old article, they work now

Birdychat is from Latvia - Madeometer

Haiket is from Cuba (I think), - Madeometer

Both are interopereable with whatsapp while we wait for the others.

Digital sovereignity has it’s roots in GDPR (2017-18) which itself came out of people’s concerns for privacy because of big tech and all of the data that was exchanging hands. Digital sovereignity itself as a government thing is where it is now, but that wouldn’t have happened to begin with if the big techs had not been investing so heavily in data mining and harvesting. They now actively lobby the EU constantly to strip us of our privacy and in some instances it may work.

Trump is a user of it and likes it, but they were doing it long before he first came on the scene, and all he did was agree with them that it was good to have all this documented information on people. Long before Trump I have no doubt that the US government liked it too.

But they are all just playing by big tech rules, making them Billionaires. None of them are casualties of Trump. They are running this themselves.

Not sure what’s counted, but the big tech hq being there definitely makes it harder for their government to promote digital sovereignity.

I got the figures from here: https://www.cso.ie/en/releasesandpublications/ep/p-ti/irelandstradeingoods2024/toptradingpartners2024/

Ireland should actively try to trade within the EU more. Irelands biggest exports go to the US. 2nd is the Netherlands (mostly pharma) and then UK. Imports are US and UK. Neither are in the EU.

i can’t help believe that Trump has done amazing work for anyone who doesn’t agree with democracy and capitalism, especially in their current form and especially when they are intertwined.

He has made millions of people who would otherwise be unaware or indifferent, very much aware and awake to what goes on.

Hopefully it will lead to a lot of changes in laws all the way down.

Which the big tech were doing long before the US government decided to use it themselves.

Microsoft aren’t casualties of Trump here… Their own greed and data harvesting pushed that as much, if not more.

Microsoft are paying the price for being Microsoft and being big American intrusive greedy tech. Nothing to do with Trump.

As soon as Microsoft saw how Google and Android were doing it, they copied it. Windows 11 is effectively spyware.

Didn’t see that, but I had the comma in the right place. TBH, it doesn’t matter if it was 78 or 78billion. It’s the how and why.

Number of Semitic people killed by Thunberg = 0

Number of Semitic people killed by Israel (only counting Palestinians) = over 78,000

Can we counteract/preempt these bullshit claims of antisemitism once and for all.

Any protesters protesting against Israel, should (beforehand) cite that they are anti-war, anti-genocide, anti-famine causing, anti-fascist, anti-violence, anti-rape, anti-torture, anti-intentional targeting of civilians, anti-use of human shields, anti-breach of medical neutrality, anti-targeting of schools, anti-attacking civilian and protected objects, anti-targeting journalists, anti-incitement to genocide, anti-wanton destruction, anti-attacking of medical facilities, anti-pillage, anti-unequal justice (the list goes on)…

If Israel are committing any or all of those crimes, then that’s on them, I’m just agreeing with the UN and any rational minded global bodies.

Any smaller competitors the do get in eventually, will just join in with the price gouging and price fixing. Not that this court case has done anything anyway

I didn’t mean to take anything away from him. it’s just frustrating when the ignorant clowns are in charge.

They don’t and won’t listen to him.

I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!!

AFTER J.D. VANCE TRAVELLED ALL THE WAY OVER TO CONVINCE EVERYONE TO VOTE FOR HIM!!??

Nobody expected that to backfire. What a crazy world we live in.

It was actually an Italian journalist.

(Sorry for the x link, didn’t have another)

Still a good quote though.

“US warns EU”… A very good reason to get away from them.

But climate change deniers would need to prove their expertise on weather and the climate etc. I was referring to the other post… I don’t think it would or could apply to politics.
