With the exception of AI and cloud computing, isn't the 'innovation' thing a thing of the 'past', an overestimation of US BigTechs? In which areas have their BigTechs really innovated in the last 10 years? (don't count the companies they have acquired.) Most of the tools released by US BigTechs in the last 10 weren't revolutionary. Meta's business relies on apps where you post text and photos and send messages. There may be other reasons for this EU dependency as well...

@veroandi@mastodon.social @rafa_font@mastodon.online 💯. As soon as a software company starts to get big it becomes an innovation inhibitor. Too many processes, layers of management less appetite for risk. Then the only way for them to innovate is through the acquisition of small innovative companies. And usually they fail to integrate them so that the original talent leaves and the bought product deteriorates. We don't need BigTech we need open standards to foster an ecosystem that can build on each other.
