Europe pushes governments and businesses off Microsoft and Google

The immediate implication is that European buyers are actively looking to reduce exposure to Microsoft and Google in core technology stacks. That matters across the streaming and broader digital ecosystem because sovereignty initiatives can shift procurement toward domestic suppliers rather than U.S. platforms. The article frames this as a Europe-wide response from both governments and businesses, not a single-company move. One concrete signal to watch next is whether more European institutions publicly adopt sovereignty programs that name Microsoft or Google as dependencies.
