I think there is something fundamentally wrong with Big Tech playing the nationalism card and I think regulation is more important than ever before.
Most Americans also want Big Tech to be regulated.

App Store, Apple Arcade, Music, iTunes Store, Books and Podcasts.
Following a coordinated investigation at the European level, we are calling on Apple to stop geo-blocking practices on Apple Media Services.
Their limitations unlawfully discriminate against European consumers based on their residence, including online access, payment methods and downloading.
Apple has one month to reply to the CPC Network’s findings and propose commitments on addressing them.
🎫 Hotels, car rental companies, and other travel service providers relying on Booking.com can begin enjoying new opportunities.
As of today, the online intermediation service must comply with all relevant obligations of the Digital Markets Act.
This means EU businesses can be free to differentiate prices and conditions on any online sales channel they wish to use.
The DMA ensures contestable and fair markets in the digital sector.

USA verhängen Einreiseverbot u.a. gegen zwei Deutsche die sich gegen Hass im Internet engagieren
Außenminister Rubio schreibt unter der Überschrift "Announcement of Actions to Combat the Global Censorship-Industrial Complex" folgendes
"Diese radikalen Aktivisten und als Waffen eingesetzten NGOs haben die Zensurmaßnahmen ausländischer Staaten vorangetrieben – in jedem Fall gegen amerikanische Redner und amerikanische Unternehmen."
Betroffen sind:
- Josephine Ballon and Anna-Lena von Hodenberg, leaders of HateAid, a German organization;
-Clare Melford, who runs the Global Disinformation Index;
-former EU Commissioner Thierry Breton, who was responsible for digital affairs.
- Imran Ahmed, chief executive of the Centre for Countering Digital Hate;
Nach der Attacke durch die GLS-Bank auf linke Strukturen in Gestalt der Kündigung von Bankkonten, folgt nun einen weitere Maßnahme des Versuchs der Einschüchterung, wobei Einreiseverbote mutmaßlich nur der erste Sdhritt sein dürften. Dass die USA auch ehemalige und politisch gut vernetzte EU-Kommissare ins Visier nehmen, sollte allen klar machen, dass die US-Regierung jede und jedem mit Maßnahmen überziehen kann und wird, derer sie namhafr wird.
Die AfD baut ihre US-Kontakte aus und es darf unterstellt werden, dass die AfD willige Zulieferin von weiteren Namenslisten ist, von Personen die sie gerne sanktioniert sähe.

🛰️🌍🛰️ The EU Space Programme is growing stronger!
Yesterday at 22:20 CET, Copernicus Sentinel-1C launched from Kourou, French Guiana.
The Copernicus Sentinel-1 mission of satellites monitors and detects among others:
🚢 Oil spills and illegal maritime activities
🌧️ Floods and icebergs
🌋 Landslides and volcano eruptions
It's time to write the next chapter of this EU-funded space saga.
AI is becoming a game-changer for businesses of all sizes and sectors.
In fact, in 2023, 8% of EU companies have already adopted AI technologies, with top-performing countries being:
🇩🇰 15,2%
🇫🇮 15,1%
🇱🇺 14,4%.
What's most exciting is that we're going to give SMEs and startups access to AI factories in the #EU and dedicated AI supercomputers, so they can use AI and stay competitive on a global scale.
AI factories are expected to be deployed in 2025.
