Week Ender archives: Can Europe quit American Big Tech? 

Listen on Spotify Apple Music Cast Box Pocket Casts This week and next, the Brussels Playbook Week Ender podcast is away for the summer holiday.  So, we thought we’d re-up this popular installment on Europe’s quest to become independent from U. S. tech.  In this episode first released in June, Sarah Wheaton is joined by “The Tech Coup” author and former Member of the European Parliament Marietje Schaake and POLITICO’s Laurens Cerulus, as they look at what happens when the systems running Europe’s schools, ministries, banks, businesses and security are controlled elsewhere. They also discuss whether Brussels can build real alternatives or simply learn to manage its dependence better.  The Brussels Playbook Podcast will be back to its regular schedule on Aug. 24.  Questions?
