Agree, but there are massive gaps (at scale) outside US provision. Specifically think about cloud computing. Non-US companies simply do not have the scale. Need massive investment, including significant public investment. This needs to be done on a pseudo-war footing.

Everyone can choose open source, I quit Facebook and Whatsapp already in 2017 (remember Cambridge Analytica). Little steps, more and more friends on Signal, and email still works.... Dependency on American big tech, and supporting Trump is your choice. Take little steps, and support Democracies.
