Alternatives to Big Tech are just about to get a whole lot more support and development.

Firstly, from the recent influx of new users and now directly from EU investment!

No better time than now to make the switch.

So important. But who was against a bolder agreement, with default EU (or open source, I hope) and option to opt out for special reasons, and why?

In terms of content, the report focuses on a strategic reorientation of public procurement and infrastructure. The compromise line adopted stipulates that member states can favor European tech providers in strategic sectors to systematically strengthen the technological capacity of the Community. The Greens even called for a stricter regulation here, where the use of products "Made in EU" should become the rule and exceptions would have to be explicitly justified. They also pushed for a definition for cloud infrastructure that provides for full EU jurisdiction without dependencies on third countries.
