I read it quickly. I wasn't impressed? It's a very shallow strategy that repeats things others have said better before and that lacks the level of detail required to pursue an ambitious strategy. Or am I missing something.

Question: so they you get European sovereignty, and then your governments decide to do the same thing. What is the difference? Why pretend that state or federal governments of any kind should be allowed to make these decisions?? Why preach a message of reaction out of fear?

That's not how sovereignty works. Sovereignty isn't state control, it's the ability to set your own rules in your own jurisdiction, whatever that may be. What collective should make these decisions? No fear, even less reaction. Just looking at pathways to freedom.

I appreciate your engagement, Robin. It means a lot. It would be easier to simply block me, as so many have done before. Communication, even through conflict, is how we grow stronger, together.

What jurisdiction exists on the internet? What borders exist? When does your control end and another’s begin? If it isn’t about state control, why call it Eurosky, and speak in phrases that clearly imply opposition to America/American tech companies? Why use the language of nationalism?

Jurisdictions exist everywhere there are people, people are inherently institution-builders. The internet isn't some weird thing that's somehow separate from IRL. I don't care that those companies are American. I do care that the internet is under the private government of authoritarian companies.
