That's a choice. But it's not everyone's choice. And with <waves hands wildly around>, the non-USA choice is rapidly becoming more popular - at least among the people I know and talk to outside the US.

EU has always and always will be moving away from US tech
I’d argue the opposite, that the US is moving away from the rest of the ‘free’ world.
‘Free’ meaning not run by dictators.
Dictators typically don't win popular votes legitimately. Dictators typically don't have the courts constantly overruling them.
Europeans tend to have very little idea how the US government functions. Trump is able to do what he does simply because the people voted for a congress that supports him.

FWIW, my perspective is from Australia, not EU.
Wow so full speed ahead on Chinese data centers and Russian social media then?
I applaud non-USA people for their dedication to human rights and privacy in their move towards those platforms.
Then again non USA countries like Australians are essentially client states of China, aren't they?
So anyone not aligning with the U.S. is basically in bed with China/Russia?
Huh, where have we heard this before?
Also, the irony here is you not seeing the ongoing Russia-US alignment.
Sorry, can you define non-US for me? Does a Chinese data centre count as a US option, or are people not moving towards "non-US" options?
Let's play the game where you slowly whittle your definition of "non-US" to a set of villages in Iceland and Norway
