The AI fearmongering is a convenient smokescreen for imposing #digitalimperialism: restrict access, lock users into proprietary platforms, consolidate control over the technology, and turn that control into enormous rents.

"Sensitive UK police data vulnerable to ‘compromise’ by US government and foreign actors. Exclusive: Official UK security assessment found Microsoft cloud platform storing files was at potential risk from hostile hackers." #digitalimperialism #datasovereignty www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

For too long, Canadians and Europeans been naive & complacent to entrust our democratic spaces to social networks controlled by American CEOs & Chinese corporations that have little stake in protecting democry. So glad to finally see a Canadian leader adressing #digitalimperialism.

The tech infrastructures under discussion incl. submarine cables, data centres, cloud infrastructure, & satellite networks.

If successful, this is amazing & far reaching strategic move. It'll ensure that Canada & the EU won't have to live under the yoke of America's #digitalimperialism & dominance.
