SoverinHow sovereign do you want to be?That’s the question asked in this recent article <a href="https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/en-is-dit-dan-de-oplossing/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/en-is-dit-dan-de-oplossing/</a>Too often, so-called “sovereign clouds” are little more than Big Tech repackaged. Real sovereignty is about control, jurisdiction, and privacy by design—not marketing fluff. The good news? Europe is full of remarkable privacy-first companies, they just need demand.Choose privacy-first, European alternatives.

Miguel Afonso Caetano"Researchers recently caught Meta using an egregious new tracking technique to spy on you. Exploiting a technical loophole, the company was able to have their apps snoop on users’ web browsing. This tracking technique stands out for its flagrant disregard of core security protections built into phones and browsers. The episode is yet another reason to distrust Meta, block web tracking, and end surveillance advertising.
