Film Lens
The film examines Microsoft's significant influence in Europe, particularly in countries like Finland, Portugal, Ireland, and Greece, where Microsoft software is essential for military and police operations. This reliance raises concerns about digital sovereignty and data security, as public institutions face increased costs and technological stagnation.
It questions the implications of European procurement and competition laws, focusing on the risks associated with depending on a single corporation for critical state functions. The film argues that this dependence may jeopardize citizens' data and undermine the region's digital independence.
