ghrasko<blockquote><p>“Meta invests $72 billion, where are the European tech giants? Bureaucrats can’t match Elon Musk. Europe has no unicorns, no AI centers, no talent cult. Maybe we’re just not made for this.”</p></blockquote><p>I recently heard this reaction to my <a href="https://techtonicshift.vivaldi.net/edai/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">European Digital Autonomy Initiative</a> (EDAI). It’s not ill-willed — it’s a brutally honest summary of the skepticism many feel. And you know what? I get it. That’s <em>exactly</em> my starting point.</p><p>My EDAI doesn’t pretend that Europe is leading the digital race today. We’re not. But accepting this reality isn’t the same as surrendering to it.</p><p><strong>Europe doesn’t need to copy Silicon Valley.</strong> We don’t need to outspend Meta or worship “techbro” hustle culture. What we <em>do</em> need is to recognize that this is not just a technological game — it’s a cultural and political one too.</p><p>Our digital ecosystem should reflect who we are: privacy-conscious, democratic, multilingual, inclusive. It’s not naïve to build on those values — it’s strategic. Long-term trust and legitimacy matter.</p><p>Yes, we lack the capital of the Big Five. But we have regulation, infrastructure, community, and a vision of the public good. That’s a different kind of power.</p><p>So no, we’re not going to give up. And no, I’m not walking away.<br>I’m building — slowly, collaboratively, and with purpose.

ghrasko<p>Europe stands at a crossroads. Do we continue relying on digital services that don’t reflect our values — or do we begin building something better?</p><p>The <a href="https://techtonicshift.vivaldi.net/edai/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">European Digital Autonomy Initiative</a> (EDAI) is a vision I’ve been developing — a proposal to reimagine digital sovereignty rooted in European values like privacy, transparency, and inclusion.</p><p>It’s not anti-American. It’s pro-European. Let’s invent a digital Europe that belongs to us.</p><p>We need awareness, smart regulation, and real alternatives. This isn’t just about technology — it’s about identity, trust, and the future we want to share.
