20 years ago there was no talks of anything digital, let alone cloud. Hell, most of the population didnt have a computer that was connected to the internet yet. At BEST some countries had e-id’s ( like myself ) and some company cards had a chip ( like debit cards ). You might want to recheck history.
20 years ago was 2005, not 1975… Cloud services started before that year. AWS started in 2002 and they weren’t the first.
But digital autonomy is not only about cloud services. EU countries were depending on US products with backdoor way before 2005.
Linux was mature at 2005. It is coincidentally even the exact year I started using Linux and also the year I personally first said, that we in the EU have to get independent from US owned operating systems. And I am not a genius.
2005 is funnily enough also the exact year Turkey started its project to get independent from US owned OSs, a project called Pardus. Sadly it pretty much failed, but the EU would have had different resources than Turkey on its own.
