I think we need a European campaign on avoiding US products and services as much as possible, and start developing our own in any way possible

This site may help, it lists many European products and services that can be bought and used instead of American ones.

For instance, did you know that there's an European Laptop and PC maker called Slimbook in Spain? And that you can fully configure their laptops before buying, including keyboard layout and a plethora of operating systems to choose - even with a dual boot option? Had I known them before, I think I would have bought my laptop there, as it's creative one is beefy, customizable and not expensive.

Also, there's a Chrome plugin from them which pops up every time you visit an American site when there's an European alternative.

As for services, Europe is developing them. The problem isn't that there aren't any, it's more that they're not known by a wider mass of people.
