Despite new laws in the field of digitalization, the existing European legislation is totally inadequate to counterbalance the Big Tech wave from Silicon Valley. This is argued by philosopher of law Bart van der Sloot. If we take the influence in the field of politics and human and privacy rights truly seriously, a ban on American tech in Europe is crucial, according to this scholar. In addition, we must work to create a European Big Tech industry. Will such a ban succeed and what will it take to set up a European counterpart of Silicon Valley?

    ok, so this is about how you run software, i.e. who owns the server hardware, while free software is about how software is developed, right?

          I don’t think it’s a term, really, more of broad idea applied to this topic
