You don't have a good feel for the anti-American-corporation sentiment here.

Politicians in fact pay lip-service to "data sovereignty", for the points it gets them.

yeah, true, because then people think the government is solving it for them without them doing ANYTHING. Take their facebook/whatsapp away, and you'll see consequences. hell, we have several people on HN that claims its simply not possible with live without whatsapp. Take their whatsapp away and they may aswell go lie down in a ditch and die.
