Given the rise of the boycott USA movement, the 800 billion € for military that may not be spent but not on US arms and the dominating presence of US tech in the EU, how can citizens voice their concern? @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu and @EC_OSPO@ec.social-network.europa.eu are on the fediverse, but the just seem like mouth piece without ears.
What can citizens do? Has the ship sailed already?
They need to get off Twitter. Go back to using the Press for official statements of high importance. And use Mastodon (Bluesky can interact with Mastodon instances in the future iirc) for rest. As a longer term project, move govt systems to Linux.
They can, but in my opinion, the omnipresence of AI in the minds of the responsible officials must be put aside first.
I suggest joining or forming alliances and support the campaigns of experienced NGOs.
Edit: An example is Public Money, Public Code by the Free Software Foundation Europe.
