Next step: structural remedies!

For Europeans, given the US tech refusal to comply to EU online safety rules, maybe it is better to find and use alternatives to US tech, where possible.
For example Quant as search engine, EU-based email services, EU-based social media.

In general, DSA is good. Except:
- Chat Control
- The flawed design of Age Verification
We could do this better in Europe.
The other side of it, is that Trump has no right to influence in the law making of Europeans. Yet, he tries because he received plenty of donations from the US Tech Oligarchs.

Trumps Regierung startet eine Kampagne & hat Diplomaten angewiesen, den
Digital Services Act (DSA) ins Visier zu nehmen.
Das ist mehr als eine Frechheit.
Es ist Einmischung in die inneren Angelegenheiten der EU - um Lobbyismus für US-Big-Tech zu machen.
Da hilft nur: DSA konsequent durchsetzen.
