@crazyeddie @kevinrns @Di4na @linuxiac One of the things I think everyone involved in that policy has in mind is last year when the current US administration ordered Microsoft to cut off the email account of a European official working in Europe for an international institution, because it didn't like that institution doing its job: https://apnews.com/article/icc-trump-sanctions-karim-khan-court-a4b4c02751ab84c09718b1b95cbd5db3 That was all over French news when it happened, and for good reason. I think it radicalized a lot of Europeans on this subject, showing that the use of perfectly ordinary tools could be turned into a weapon if they're run by a US company.
