I agree. Digital sovereignty is important for the EU. The less we are in the pocket of the US the better.

Digital anarchy is important for the regular people. The more you take technology in your own hands, the less you are at the whims of centralised services.

Reading down those actions and it turns out I'm already doing most of those things.

Right on! Just thought I would pass it on in the spirit of your statement. There are so many things we can do.

First time I have seen "digital anarchy" and I love it. Except it sounds like a punk-techno band. Lol.

It is essentially the same as the Free/Libre software movement. Digital Anarchy is a term I really like though because rather than emphasizing freedom, it emphasizes the destruction of hierarchies of authoritarian regimes and big tech. Free/Libre software is the best example of Anarchism working in practice.
