"One of his compatriots has, though. Nicolas Roux, systems engineer at French aerospace research lab ONERA, has put together a comprehensive analysis in an attempt to understand which systems might fail first under the kind of pressure the US has already exercised on European institutions and individuals. It also looks at how long they would take to recover and how Europe can reduce its exposure, and which levers - organizational, sectoral, or political - it should pull to ensure better digital sovereignty."
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio sanctioned Thierry Breton for leading organized efforts to coerce American platforms to censor, demonetize, and suppress viewpoints they oppose. Breton continues to push for Europe to reduce reliance on dominant US tech companies, framing digital sovereignty as a central arena of power politics. He claims Europe has a constellation of technology players that could form a considerable base, but provides limited detail on how to replace incumbent providers. Nicolas Roux analyzed which European systems might fail first under pressure similar to US actions, how long recovery would take, and how Europe can reduce exposure. The 137-page report targets European decision-makers and presents worst-case scenarios alongside potential optimism.
