Google is a surveillance capitalist. It is a factory farm that extracts from and exploits people. Why do you want to create a “Google of Europe?” Why do you want Europe to capitulate to Silicon Valley’s digital imperialism and become its taxpayer-paid R&D department?

I was with you right up to "let's do better in the EU" and now I can't because, you know, the will of the people and all that.

:( Europe, then :) Basically, let’s do better everywhere but practically, we have more of a chance with the EU for funding. That said, it’s decentralisation and grassroots democracy – cities – that I have the most hope in. And that goes for the UK too. In or out of the EU :)

You should definitely watch
@prototypefund funded by german ministry for education & research -
Thanks, will do. I remember a German initiative a while back that we talked to but it was only for organisations in Germany. Not sure if it was this one. Petites Singularités (by
@hellekin et al) has a bid in for funding as a consortium. Would be the 1st for us if it succeeds.

To a certain degree I believe that being first-in has its disadvantages. The initial model can have its flaws but is institutionalized. Then competitors can take the good and leave out the flaws. The U.S. Constitution and federal form of govt are another example.
