Open source framed as Europe's digital sovereignty safeguard

A claim circulating on Mastodon argues that open source software is the only real guarantee of digital sovereignty, citing a Politico report that a Russian surveillance company infiltrated European law enforcement agencies. The story has fuelled concern that EU police bodies depend on opaque foreign technology, and renewed calls for open source procurement across European public institutions.
Why now: Reports of Russian surveillance software inside European police agencies have revived debate about open source as a defence for digital sovereignty.
