Insanely bizarre, Germany has historically been pro-open source and the EU was just saying that the Fediverse is here to stay.
That's a matter of politics. The tax authority doesn't care about the political stance of the German government. They also sometimes just take weird decisions that seem pretty random, but it's nothing political.
That doesn't change the fact that the US has de facto control over most of the web infrastructure
Could you provide a source for the second part? I'm genuinely interested
