Scoop: We obtained vast amounts of European mobile phone location data from data brokers.

Yes and no. Governments can be welcome examples if they switch to European services (that’s what Bert means, I think). The end. NO ONE here should be seriously suggesting they are capable of designing the future of European tech or should be leading on roadmaps. Let’s not conflate. Only business can

If you are an European citizen this is mandatory reading. The EU must become digitally sovereign. It is not that difficult but political will is needed. This talk by @berthubert.bsky.social explains well how bad the situation is for the EU and how we could fix it.

The EU has launched a Consortium for Digital Commons. Authorities were crystal clear on how large our digital autonomy challenges are today. I delivered a talk in which I outlined how dependent we are technically AND culturally on big tech & I offered some modest advice: berthub.eu/articles/pos...

Feeling extremely honoured and grateful to be selected by @elpais.com as one of the 10 most influential thinkers in the world on tech, along with giants like @meredithmeredith.bsky.social and @dacemoglumit.bsky.social. Thanks so much for the shout-out. 🙏🙏🙏 #AIEthics elpais.com/ideas/2025-1...
