activists don’t like the US’ dominance in tech clouds and services, obviously
reducing the effect of US tech in europe would mean that smaller european companies have a chance at competing as well
national security hawks don’t like having essential services depend on the US either
in the past, the US forced everyone to comply with US tech because the US was economically too powerful to deny requests to, but now that is changing because US economy is not so important internationally anymore, due to tariffs but also because US consumers are becoming poorer and therefore less important as a consumer market.
to summarize:
