@ecosia@mastodon.social Out of curiosity, I analysed Ecosia's infrastructure (through IPs and ASNs) to find out whether it is #European or not. I was surprised to find that it relies on #AWS S3 for financial data reports (stored .json data), #Amazon Cloudfront for the Ecosia.org search, Fastly for blog.ecosia.org, #Cloudflare for the Ecosia.org homepage, #Google Ads and probably others. In July 2025, they posted on their blog that 'digital #sovereignty is just #oneclickaway', stating that Europe's digital backbone is dependent on the US and all the problems this entails, such as a lack of control. They also said, 'We've always believed that where you search matters' and 'Digital #sovereignty is climate action too', despite the fact that they depend on Big Tech themselves and use almost no EU infrastructure in practice. As Ecosia is a signatory to the #EuroStack initiative, why haven't you migrated your infrastructure to #European solutions? It is worrying to know that, by switching to Ecosia, practically 100% of my traffic goes through non-EU companies. I would like to see more independence on your part. 'Building and using local infrastructure means reducing transatlantic data traffic, increasing energy efficiency, and cutting down on the carbon footprint of cloud computing. Plus, tech companies that are based here are more likely to be held accountable to EU environmental standards. It's a win-win.’ – Ecosia Blog https://blog.ecosia.org/digital-sovereignty-is-just-oneclickaway/ #eu #ecosia #eurostack #sovereignty #privacy #bigtech #sustainability
