How do you get off US tech?

I mean, I tried to find somebody recently and I did in January who had managed to dump all his US tech.

But that's very, very hard.

And I don't think most of us are doing that.

I mean, we are.

We're joined at the hip might be too strong, but we are very dependent on US tech.

We like it.

We'll keep using it.

Do we want safeguards on it?

Apparently, yes.

Some of that is about safety of your data, what stays in Europe.

Some of that is in making these companies obey European rules, which some of them aren't very keen on.

But I think the ultimate threat is that one side gives up on the other.

that's maybe not the best place to get to.

I think delays on some products.

I mean, they get slower to, I mean, threads, I think.

Was it from Meta?

It took a while to come.

I mean, there are things where they need to get it cleared with European regulators.

And maybe there are things that you're prepared to test in the US or in another market where you've got a bit more room to do what you like.
