Excellent article written by @Marloezovic@mastodon.nl about the effect of US sanctions on the EU tech sector, after the targeting of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and Italian internet provider A/I. Quoted is @koen@procolix.social , director of @ProcoliX@social.procolix.eu , who have had to limit the IT services that they provide to the ICC out of fear for US sanctions. https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2026/09/08/amerikaanse-sanctiebeleid-jaagt-europese-internetsector-angst-aan-a4936144 #digitalsovereignty #eupolicy #USpol #opensource

Nice work Switzerland! 👏👏 European governments are starting to support alternative mobile app stores, such as @fdroidorg@floss.social , for their government-built apps. Next up, government issued (fair)phones for civil servants that come with an open OS and open app store? 🚀 https://www.parlament.ch/de/ratsbetrieb/suche-curia-vista/geschaeft?AffairId=20267146 #digitalsovereignty #opensource #foss #mobile #fdroid #eupolicy #switzerland

The developers of Funda and Rabobank seem to suddenly block alternative mobile OS's, like @e_mydata@mastodon.social and @GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social They're likely doing this through using the strictest device attestation settings in Google's Play Integrity API. Funda is the largest Dutch housing platform in the country (like Zillow), and Rabobank is the 2nd largest bank in the #TheNetherlands. This is why we need alternatives within the mobile ecosystem. #digitalsovereignty #EUPolicy #foss #mobile

The municipality of #Groningen in The Netherlands is investigating a switch from Microsoft to Linux 🇳🇱🔥 " It is unknown which Linux operating system the municipality will use. This is part of measures to become less dependent on big tech." https://tweakers.net/nieuws/249114/gemeente-groningen-onderzoekt-overstap-van-windows-naar-linux.html #digitalsovereignty #TheNetherlands #opensource #bigtech #eupolicy
