Fresh out the oven, still warm. Top of the tray.
Summary
Denmark is implementing a comprehensive strategy to reduce dependence on U.S. Big Tech companies by developing sovereign alternatives for critical infrastructure. The country has taken measures including a media blockade against Google and Meta, 'nationalizing' government software away from Microsoft, and building its own digital public services. This approach represents a significant shift from Denmark's traditionally pro-American stance and raises questions about the costs of digital sovereignty versus the benefits of global tech integration.
