The exact text appears in the Tech Policy Press article "Europe Tried to Take Control of Its Digital Stack in 2025. Where Does It Stand Now?"; the byline is "Chris Stokel-Walker / Dec 19, 2025," and line 40 contains the exact phrase verbatim. So the quote is authentic and attributable to Stokel-Walker’s article text. I marked it disputed only because the stored source URL redirects to the canonical trailing-slash URL; the author metadata is supported by his site and its @stokel link, plus Wikipedia.

The sentence does appear verbatim on the Tech Policy Press page, but that page is authored by Chris Stokel-Walker on December 19, 2025, not by Zach Meyers. In the article, it is introduced as narrative text — “Meyers’ argument is blunt: trying to decouple wholesale from US cloud risks hurting European competitiveness more than it helps sovereignty” — which reads as the journalist’s paraphrase/summary of Meyers’ view, not a confirmed direct quotation from Meyers himself. I therefore cannot treat it as a verified Zach Meyers quote. ([techpolicy.press](https://www.techpolicy.press/europe-tried-to-take-control-of-its-digital-stack-in-2025-where-does-it-stand-now/))
