A mobile application designed to help Danish consumers avoid purchasing American-made products is surging in popularity as anti-US sentiment rises in Denmark following the US's controversial interest in acquiring Greenland. The app, called UdenUSA ("Without USA"), was developed by 21-year-old Jonas Pipper and his friend Malthe Hensberg. The creators say the app responds to growing demand from consumers who wish to avoid US-made goods but struggle to identify product origins in supermarkets.

“We are rearming. We are decarbonizing. We are preparing. We are becoming an independent Europe. And this means a more outward Europe. And this is why I am here today. Because showing up matters,” VDL said.

Refusal to allow use of bases in Rota and Morón follows Pedro Sánchez’s condemnation of US-Israeli action

Spain has denied the US permission to use jointly operated military bases on its territory to attack Iran as Madrid stepped up its criticism of the “unjustified and dangerous military intervention”.

Spain’s socialist prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, has explicitly condemned the US and Israel’s “unilateral military action” against Iran, warning that it is contributing to “a more hostile and uncertain international order”. The rebukes have been reinforced by his government’s refusal to allow the US to use bases in Rota and Morón for the continuing strikes against Iran.

José Manuel Albares, Spain’s foreign minister, said on Monday that while the government wanted “democracy, freedom and fundamental rights for the Iranian people”, it would on no account allow its bases to be used in the ongoing military action.

I can't stand citizen saboteurs. Why is no one doing anything against that?

So… the supposed European alternative to X and the answer to independence from U.S. tech is… using “American” ATProto instead of “European” Mastodon.

European organizations are about to launch their own social media platform, W, amid rising tensions with the United States.

Edit:

Just to clarify that this was posted as informational. I don’t consider that a private social network will be the answer to “protect” the world of another private social network. And consider that there’s already Mastodon, I don’t understand why are we supposed to need another platform.

In a smartphone market dominated by giants like Apple, Samsung, and the countless brands running on the American Google’s Android OS, European companies might seem like underdogs. But Europe is home to a growing number of innovative smartphone makers that are carving out a niche by focusing on sustainability, privacy, and user empowerment. Whether you’re looking to support local industry, reduce your environmental impact, or simply try something different, here are the top smartphones made in Europe—or by European companies—you should know about.
