The UK still is in Europe, but it is not in the European Union. Wish people would distinguish between the two. (I was a Remainer by the way!!!)

Digital sovereignity is when we're forcing everyone to use Android or iOS in order to access online services? < https://github.com/eu-digital-identity-wallet/av-doc-technic... >

Same with Canadian “digital sovereignty”, every single critical infrastructure I have seen are fully running and relying on US based companies, not partially, no, the core infrastructure and business relies on them, and no way to change that in at least 20y if I am being optimistic. So next time you hear this sentence, you should know that you are being manipulated to tax you more or to pass some laws or contracts for certain local companies to gulp your tax dollars, it’s all a joke.
