Incredible (but predictable) : #Microsoft has blocked the International Criminal Court's access (#ICC) to its services on the orders of the #Trump mafia.

Read that carefully : an international organisation that has no presence in the United States and no US legal rights has had its work tools blocked simply because it disagrees with the Trump administration. 🚩

Get the hell out of it right now.

Trump's sanctions on ICC prosecutor have halted tribunal's work

Nearly three months ago, U.S. President Donald Trump slapped sanctions on the International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor, Karim Khan. He has lost access to his email and his bank accounts have been frozen. American staffers at The Hague-based court also have been told that if they travel to the U.S. they risk arrest. In addition, some nongovernmental organizations have stopped working with the ICC. Rights groups say these problems will prevent victims of war crimes from getting justice.

@danslerush I will be very curious to see what Protonmail does if pressured by the Trump administration to shut down accounts as well. If they do Im jumping ship.

@sebgogola @danslerush Proton is Swiss. Why should they listen to what Trump wants? The US has no jurisdiction there.

@art_histories @sebgogola @danslerush As long as you have a US presence you need to comply with US rules. Proton is not US independent.

@canrith6696 @sebgogola @danslerush @Linux Thank you, I will have a look into it.
Besides, I don't really care about Proton as I have read some shady stuff about them already. I was just wondering because they are Swiss and not US based.
