These "services" are mostly digital right? Like streaming, hosting, subscription based software et cetera?

I would dearly love to see a change away from US based tech. US tech giants have just fucked everything really. The EU seems to have the only governments willing to hold them accountable during the last 10 years.

Sad and true. Everyone else just wants to put their hands in the jar.

It's not quite EU, and I'm not saying it's necessarily better than buying from the US, but there are many non-US tech brands with nice products if you're okay with buying from Korea/Japan/Taiwan/China. Samsung, LG, Sony, ASUS and Xiaomi, for example.
