Survey: Many Europeans would avoid European businesses that use US technology
By
Edward Shone
Summary
A survey of 3,000 people in the UK, France, and Germany reveals that a significant number of Europeans would avoid doing business with European companies that rely on US technology for services like email, payment systems, or web hosting. The research indicates a growing consumer preference for privacy-focused, local alternatives over US tech, and this sentiment extends beyond tech companies to any European business using US tech infrastructure.
