The other commenter nailed it down. But I want to add that removing dependance on US companies is not some kind of spiteful act. It's purely down to both privacy and reliability.

Having private companies in the US becoming more involved with politics is fine for the US apperantly, but the EU just don't want to be involved.

As if EU doesn’t involve itself with software, policy and censorship which has its own inherent risks

Open standards, private software is the way to go. It makes sense for any entity to control their own destiny.

The EUs interests focus heavy on regulation, standardisation and privacy. They avoid letting private companies dictate the terms.

Isn't perfect, but it's getting better and it's a work in progress.
