The EU Commission just created something that didn't exist before: a way to actually measure digital sovereignty. Their new SEAL framework rates cloud providers 0–4. No US hyperscaler won a lead contract. €180M goes to OVHCloud, STACKIT, Scaleway, Proximus. The quiet part: SEAL-2 minimum means your provider can't be compelled by foreign law to hand over your data. Most winners hit SEAL-3 — immune to non-EU supply chain disruption. This is procurement policy, not rhetoric. It will cascade. https://commission.europa.eu/news-and-media/news/commission-advances-cloud-sovereignty-through-strategic-procurement-2026-04-17_en #DataSovereignty #SovereignCloud #EU #Privacy #FOSS

Commission advances cloud sovereignty through strategic procurement

This April, the European Commission awarded its Sovereign Cloud call for tender through which the EU institutions, bodies, offices and agencies (Union entities) will be able to procure sovereign cloud services for up to EUR 180 million over a period of 6 years.

@ReggieHere@mastodon.social you're right to call out the timeline. The CLOUD Act is from 2018. The EU flagged the conflict with GDPR immediately — then did nothing for 8 years!

Turns out that one of the four EU cloud winners S3NS is a joint venture between Thales and Google Cloud.
The European cloud industry association calls it "sovereignty washing at the highest levels."
A framework built to keep US hyperscalers out awarded a contract to an entity running on Google Cloud tech. SEAL-2, not SEAL-3. The lowest passing grade.
The framework works. The political will to enforce it fully doesn't.

@BenjaminHCCarr@hachyderm.io Worth adding: License is MPL 2.0, code on GitHub now, though MZLA notes the security audit is still running before enterprise production readiness. And it's a client + workflow layer, not an inference stack. You still pick and run the model. Wild contrast: same week Cal.com went closed-source citing AI-assisted exploit risk as unmanageable in open repos. Two opposite bets on the same threat model.

@JamesBont@mastodon.social @fragdenstaat@chaos.social Die Behauptung „Libertäre lehnen die Demokratie ab" ist so nicht haltbar. Libertarismus ist eine politische Philosophie mit individueller Freiheit als höchstem Wert – nicht die Ablehnung demokratischer Ordnung. Abgelehnt wird unbegrenzte Mehrheitsherrschaft über Grundrechte, nicht Demokratie an sich. Libertär ≠ Elitenherrschaft. Nur eine Randströmung (Hoppe) lehnt Demokratie grundsätzlich ab. Das auf alle Libertären zu übertragen, ist unsauber. Poschardt, Musk oder Thiel inhaltlich zu kritisieren – legitim. Aber eine ganze politische Denkrichtung mit „Terrororganisation" gleichzusetzen, entwertet den Begriff und die Debatte. 📎 https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/libertarianism/
