The Legal Affairs Committee (JURI) just voted unanimously to promote
that citizens regain control over their personal data and communication

    */Calls on the Commission to promote the development, jointly with
    stakeholders, of decentralised Free and Open Source Software (FOSS)
    based services which would help to harmonise practices across cloud
    providers and enable European citizens to regain control over their
    personal data and communication, for example by means of
    point-to-point encryption./*
