It is no longer safe to move our governments and societies to US clouds - Bert Hubert's writings

The very short version: it is madness to continue transferring the running of European societies and governments to American clouds. Not only is it a terrible idea given the kind of things the “King of America” keeps saying, the legal sophistry used to justify such transfers, like the nonsense letter the Dutch cabinet sent last week, has now been invalidated by Trump himself. And why are we doing this? Convenience.

@glynmoody this is why I’m so confused by the chaos in the US. Bezos had WaPo pull its endorsement of Harris so presumably (and “as a billionaire”) he is aligned with this administration. But if ever stops hosting with amazon, that’s bad for him! Maybe AWS generates less income than I thought? I’m trying to follow the money and I can’t!

@heavyimage he presumably sees the madman trump as an existential threat

@glynmoody It's never been safe to stand on US thin ice. But it's audibly cracking now, and that makes people think it's unsafe now.
