Wish I was eligible to offer my thoughts, because as someone living through this waking nightmare, I have a few.
Good luck, friends from across the pond!
Perhaps if you post them here it'll inspire someone to include them in their response.
You can! It says "I’m giving my feedback as" and one of the choices is non eu citizen. Also, in the list of countries, there’s Afganistan, so I think the US will be there too
Oh! That's cool. I was reading the eligibility, and it sounded like non-EU citizens weren't the group they wanted to hear from.
Thanks, I'll put my thoughts together
Taiwan has a lot of experience in this area and has been doing some interesting work.

By the way, free-libre software programmer Audrey Tang, who has been fighting CCP disinformation from outside and now inside the government, was one of the group who first proposed the Euro Stack, for European IT sovereignty from outside powers and companies.
Thanks, thoughts offered. Finally a consultation where real questions are asked, with free text feedback option. It feels a bit weird compared to the "consultations" in my country, with directed yes/no questions.
I feel a bit confronted with myself, am usually a pro privacy and anonymity person, but some of these issues are hard to tackle this way. There should be a very careful balance in this regard, open-source and EU wide alternatives should help a lot to prevent these issues, but anonymity should be held up as an option for the people.
