::: spoiler Google translation of a few paragraphs
You have a one in seven chance of seeing your health data migrate to the Microsoft cloud and fall under American law, and therefore under the good will of its president, Donald Trump, and the Doge's boss, Elon Musk. So, happy? Yes, you may be among the 10 million French people randomly selected as part of the Darwin EU project, coordinated by the European Medicines Agency and led, in France, by the public interest group "Plateforme des données de santé," better known as the Health Data Hub (HDH).In a decision published on March 11, the French National Commission for Information Technology and Civil Liberties (CNIL) gave the HDH the green light to select a random sample of 10 million people representative in terms of age, sex, and department of residence from the main database of the National Health Data System, the vast majority of which is issued by the National Health Insurance Fund. The objectives are certainly laudable: to determine the prevalence and incidence of drug and vaccine use in France using a standardized methodology.
Less laudable, the host chosen to store this data is Microsoft. In 2020, as part of a summary procedure, we already warned that sensitive health data of the French population hosted by Microsoft fell under American law due to the company's domicile in the United States. In October 2020, the Council of State recognized this risk of extraterritoriality of American law. A month later, in a letter dated November 19, 2020, the Minister of Health, Olivier Véran, urged the government to completely eliminate, within two years, the risks posed by the hosting of health data by an American operator.

France has a sneaker brand called Le Coq. Why would anyone buy Nike when they can show off their Le Coq is beyond me.

You don’t have to be perfect, just try your best to avoid anything made in the US. If it’s unavoidable, don’t stress it, just buy the absolute least you can get away with, while looking for EU alternatives.
I'm just saying how most of the people I meet outside are. They don't have these lists handed to them. They only see some Tesla stuff on the news.

It’s true, just a couple of changes reflects on their books. One “this instead of that” per person goes a long way.

They are welcome to come here. I wouldn't wanna live in a country with someone like Trump either.

As an American, who the fuck even has to be told that, by now? If you know what’s going on, you have an obligation to make American corporations shriek their fucking heads off as they hemorrhage profits.
As an American:
FFS STOP BUYING AMERICAN!
Most people?
I think sometimes people on here forget we have been filtered out of general society first by joining Reddit and then by moving here we are sort of in a liberal echo chamber.
When I interact with regular friends IRL, they don’t care and they really don’t understand what’s happening with the world. So it’s a good thing Macron is sayin this as it spreads the message.

They’re welcome here. You would not be with your current mindset.

I think it's a bit hard for most people when there's such an abundance of goods and services and nobody really knows where everything comes from.
It wasn't until all this kicked off that I learned just how many companies that I thought were European were in fact owned by American conglomerates.
Which makes MAGA's "the world is taking advantage of America" rhetoric all the more infuriatingly hypocritical. You spent decades using the strong dollar to go on a massive global shopping trip buying up every other country's companies, and are now crying foul that those companies you own are supplying their local markets instead of importing from the US?

I am confused if this is a low effort trolling attempt or if people's ideas are legitimately this easily swayed by internal propaganda.
