In this interview with Eurofiber’s Elisabeth Hankeln and Soverin’s Diana Krieger, the message is clear: if Europe wants to stay in control of its data, we need to build and support our own infrastructure.

Europe has the talent, the regulation, and the market. Now it’s about execution. The building blocks are already here—let’s connect them.

I just tried out Europe’s amazing new DNS resolver, designed to keep our data safe from those evil Americans. Result: can’t even resolve host.local! Well done, cybersecurity experts! Maybe when we can deliver something as simple and reliable as the US does, we’ll actually have a reason to brag. #DNS4EU #CyberSecurity #DataProtection #DigitalSovereignty #EuropeanTech #Privacy #TechNews #DNS #Infosec

Today, #Mastodon CFO said that with 10M euro they'd reach their main structural goals.

Mastodon is a Made in Europe project, fulfilling our "European Values". Would love the @EUCommission endorsing it, and our main public figures opening accounts - or even instances. We are all part of the needed change.

#EuropeanAlternatives seem to trend heavily so I want to share a small VPS provider from Lithuania which I use personally for #selfhosting. The main point about them is tbh they are really cheap compared to anyone else. This is my affiliate link, and if you find them interesting I can get some discount when extending my plan next time. If you have any questions regarding them I can share my experience... #europe #selfhosted #EuropeanTech #european

instead of #europeantech #europeanalternatives, stop using #european SAAS and propietary software. Use local *libre* software, no matter if you get the Trisquel distro from US or European mirrors. #gnu #freedoom

For our second #FollowFriday here (we forgot it last week), we wanted to recommend European search engines that have accounts here on Mastodon.

So we tried to find on Mastodon the European companies listed on this post:
https://social.vivaldi.net/@ueeu/114174129661206035

But unfortunately, very few of them are present on Mastodon.

We believe that those companies who have chosen to join the Fediverse deserve our attention, even if we have not yet used their services.

By receiving their news in our feeds, we might be inspired to explore their services and be informed about their developments.

So we suggest following these 5 accounts to show your support and witness their growth as it unfolds.

There is also the Open Web Search account: @openwebsearcheu. While they are not a company, they are a coalition of European research and computing centers that promotes Europe's independence in web search. If you'd like to be updated about Europe's digital sovereignty and search engine markets, follow them too!

Do you know any other European search engine that deserves a follow? Let us know!

OVHcloud CEO calls on companies to anticipate discontinuity risk with European alternatives

OVHcloud is a French cloud service provider positioning itself as a reliable, sovereign, European alternative to US cloud hyperscalers.

There is a growing sentiment that the US shouldn't be relied upon for the technologies that many people and businesses use every day.

While we prefer to focus on technical guarantees like strong end-to-end encryption over matters like jurisdiction, these issues still matter, and the United States certainly does not have a monopoly on the best technologies.

We've compiled a list of some of our favorite and highly recommended European privacy tools, to highlight how easy it can be to take your data back from American Big Tech companies: https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/03/19/private-european-alternatives/

As American Big Tech companies continue to flout EU regulations, and the US Government cuts off critical defense technology to Ukraine, there is a growing sentiment that the US shouldn't be relied upon for the technologies that many people and businesses use every day.

I wrote this latest @privacyguides article to highlight some of the many privacy-respecting, European tools that can replace the tech you use every day: https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/03/19/private-european-alternatives/
