Last week we reported that the US government ordered Anthropic to switch off two AI models worldwide with no notice and no appeal. That was not the beginning of this story. It was the latest in a chain of events that had already convinced European governments to walk away from American software.
The European Commission published the Cloud and AI Development Act (CADA), a framework that divides cloud providers into four tiers based on how much sovereignty they offer. The higher the tier, the more sensitive the government contracts you can compete for.

EU Vice President Henna Virkkunen framed the rationale directly: "We want to be sure nobody has a kill switch."
