If your criticism of "big tech" is merely a result of the unhappiness about the fact that Meta, Google and Microsoft aren't EU-corporations you are missing the point.
There is nothing that indicates that SAP or Deutsche Telekom would hesitate a second at the chance of becoming the equally violent and exploitive forces.
The solution to Big Tech isn't EU Big Tech. It's de-commercialisation and democratization of tech.

I see some of you starting to type something like
"But Malte, in the EU we have value-based regulation like GDPR and DSA. Our Big Tech would be much friendlier than THOSE americans."
I'll tell you a secret: We only have GDPR, DSA etc because it's foreign Big Tech. If it were European corporations digitally dominating the globe our regulation would be as tame as those in the US.

@malteengeler greed is the enemy. And capitalism, since it jusifies greed.
