Just saw highlighted
in your digital sovereignty index. As my subjective assessment for Germany is
I was very curious to the used index metrics: Just the numbers of "good" servers you can see out of the Internet?
Never! Reasons? Well ...
What about all those hidden "bad" instances?
What about all those operating systems and user software packages that constantly communicate and save their data on platforms like MS365, Google Workspace, Meta, ...?
What about the Cloud providers (Azure, AWS, GCS) where the "good counted" instances are hosted.
Is this digital sovereignty?
And BTW : Does Crimea belong to Russia
, as indicated in your map? Seriously? Together on a web page where you use the word "sovereignty"?
@angry @nextcloud Crimea is Ukraine and will always be. We're using Open Street Map, and unfortunately they map regions based on physical control. That's why Crimea shows up as part of Russia on the map. Thanks for asking about this and supporting Ukraine!
With regards to the other points - we sadly can't compare to big tech this way, they run only big servers with many users. As we explain, the metric is imperfect - reason why we don't focus on absolute numbers.
It still shows interesting differences between countries, as well as between smaller orgs & individuals vs their government that fully depends on MS. It gets quite some folks talking - that's a win, I think.
