The US just sanctioned the entire International Criminal Court. Banks froze accounts, US tech vendors cut off licenses and updates, and YouTube pulled 700+ videos of possible war crime evidence. ⚖️ If one executive order can switch off a court, your family photos aren't safe on American clouds either. 🇪🇺 🐘 https://pixelunion.eu/blog/2026/10/icc-sanctions-digital-sovereignty/ #DigitalSovereignty #ICC #BuyFromEU #Privacy #OpenSource

The US sanctions on the International Criminal Court show how exposed you are when your digital infrastructure is in foreign hands.

This time, the US government put sanctions not on individual members, but to the international criminal court itself. I would expect that's the end of contracts with and services from Microsoft. The prenotice period is 6 months. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/oct/09/sanctions-icc-trump #endof10 #DigitalSovereignty #ICC #Microsoft #DAWO #EU_OS

Excellent article written by @Marloezovic@mastodon.nl about the effect of US sanctions on the EU tech sector, after the targeting of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and Italian internet provider A/I. Quoted is @koen@procolix.social , director of @ProcoliX@social.procolix.eu , who have had to limit the IT services that they provide to the ICC out of fear for US sanctions. https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2026/09/08/amerikaanse-sanctiebeleid-jaagt-europese-internetsector-angst-aan-a4936144 #digitalsovereignty #eupolicy #USpol #opensource

Amerikaanse sanctiebeleid jaagt Europese internetsector angst aan

Tech: Internetdienstverleners zijn bang geworden voor Amerikaans ingrijpen. De VS gebruiken sinds kort terrorismesancties als middel om websites uit de lucht te halen.

So, the @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu has rolled out @element@mastodon.matrix.org chat as a backup system to their default #Teams for the 33k officials. One official defended the new #Matrix-based system on an internal chat, according to Politico, by saying Teams wasn't as secure because "all we have is a guarantee that #Microslop [sic!] will not peek inside," and how can anyone not love that official. #DigitalSovereignty #DigitalSecurity #e2ee

Die Bundesregierung treibt ihre Rechenzentrumsstrategie voran: 25 von 28 Maßnahmen sind gestartet von mehr AI/HPC-Compute und einer souveränen KI-Cloud bis zu Gigafactory, europäischen Cloud-Kapazitäten und besserer Energieinfrastruktur. Aber: Entscheidend ist, wer Compute, Cloud, Daten und KI-Stack tatsächlich kontrolliert und ob Abhängigkeiten gewechselt werden können. #AISovereignty #AIInfrastructure #DigitalSovereignty https://www.bundesregierung.de/breg-de/aktuelles/rechenzentrumsstrategie-2412884

Microsoft's argument in South Africa is interesting because they acknowledge what sovereignty is. Yet, in the next step, they say you should treat sovereignty as an absolute, but as a sliding scale, which would move Azure from "no" to "court order needed." #digitalsovereignty https://iafrica.com/microsoft-sets-out-a-six-part-definition-of-digital-sovereignty-to-south-african-officials/
