This could happen with your phone. This could happen with your laptop. This could happen with your credit card. It's a long list. Some of us have been working on this, but most large players, public and private, have stayed in fantasyland. Care to join us? www.euractiv.com/news/anthrop...

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?

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.

Hey Bryan, why would I block you, we're just talking here! It's good to talk 😁 Heading to bed, but take care!

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.

And also that they are not just fascists themselves but aligned with a fascist regime. There is no nationalism. It's called Eurosky because it inherits from a specific tradition of resistance to tyranny that we have here, and that many here are bringing back.

(And to be clear, I say nationalism not as a retroactive, conservative movement, but as a movement rooted in national pride)
