    The US will absolutely panic once this starts to spread.

    They will have no control, and no eyes on what Europe does with its money.

    Power to the EU.

    No doubt they are lobbying hard to bring this to the attention of Jabba the Trump.

        That won’t fly. The EU is a massive market for Apple and Google they won’t want to lose.

        But hey, I’d love those monopolies to burn too, so be great to see the problem of them highlighted like that.

        Digital sovereignty is suddenly a hot topic.
