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 equally violent and exploitative forces.

The solution to Big Tech isn't EU Big Tech. It's de-commercialisation and democratization of tech.

Is this good or bad news? I hope this will not lead to any dependency anytime in the future.

In the end this money came from violating the rights of a lot of individuals, selling their data whereever possible to the highest bidder and driving surveillance capitalism further.

I do not want to judge over taking it or not, but I'd love to see a discussion about the freedom in and of Debian and colaborating with #gafam and the possible dangers arising from it.
