I’ve never received such desperate compromises than from a car salesman trying to sell me a car that I was completely honest about not caring for & open about my other options down the street from other carmakers. My honesty truly made him believe I was playing hardball, even though I wasn’t. That taught me more than any other experience. He was still emailing me months later with new offers, after I had already decided on something else.

Why Big Tech Is Incompatible with Democracy | Bruno Giussani | TED

Most of the technology powering life in Europe today — chatbots, the cloud, digital infrastructure — is owned by companies in the United States. Writer and curator Bruno Giussani makes the case that Europe’s reliance on American technology has crossed the line from convenient to risky. His answer isn’t to go it alone, but to build something the continent currently lacks: a real alternative, rooted in a different model. “Technology that does not spy on you — that should be Europe’s digital difference,” he says.
