The term “digital sovereignty” is popular but where are the jobs? The EU and its member states are supposedly unlocking billions in funding to support it, but when I search for “digital sovereignty” jobs, I find next to nothing.
Is digital sovereignty really happening or is just being hyped with nothing behind it?
No, it’s not hype, but in many cases a straight out lie. We are governed by corrupt sell-outs while defunding education and a 24/7 stream of brain rot has the majority of voters blame (often illusionary) minorities while getting openly fucked by corporations and their governments.
They cry about digital sovereignity while buying solutions from Microsoft’s or Google’s EuRoPeAn cloud solutions that are a scam with zero sovereignity.
They talk about sovereign chip development while defunding education and research and subsidizing Intel.
They lament about a need for sovereign AI while just pushing surveilance and abolishing data protection so they can sell all our data to the big US companies… and now Palantir on top.
Oh and of course we totally need more US run data centers for those “sovereign” cloud and AI solutiuns somehow.
