so much reasonable scepticism here is being downvoted, i don’t get why

to add my 2 cents: why does anyone think the EU countries don’t or won’t pose the same risks as the US? They might just be doing it silently and illegally. Where is the guarantee that the mere fact a service is EU-based provides benefits over using US-based ones?

Most of it is entirely unreasonable and being posted by Americans with vested interests who would never dream of posting the same comment if it was about the US reducing their dependency on Chinese tech - think Huawei, Tencent, Alibaba, Bytedance. Imagine a post on that topic - there have been many when it was higher on the agenda - and droves of Europeans commenting "Gee, how strange that the US wants to do this".

It's the exact same, and it doesn't take much wisdom to understand.

proofs, please?

> who would never dream of posting the same comment if it was about the US reducing their dependency on Chinese tech

it’s just your assumption. I personally don’t know anyone from the states who would want this except their government

> Imagine a post on that topic - there have been many when it was higher on the agenda - and droves of Europeans commenting "Gee, how strange that the US wants to do this"

again, it’s the government who fights the dependency on China, not the regular people. You are confusing politics and normal people’s concerns
