If you ever wondered why I rage against clouds and push towards selfhosting and a more sovereign Europe, here you go: Microsoft has kicked the ICC out of their e-mail platform.

It was ordered by Tangerine Mussolini - but Microsoft might be even more at blame here with their Ireland spin-off bullshit and hoax. As many suspected, it was a bold lie.

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.

It is some crazy shit if countries, like the US, are sanctioning the International Criminal Court - and Big Tech are aiding and abetting the orders of their fascist leader.

I want to sell books, yes.

For the record, this is... not how I wanted to do that.

Totally - I am right there with you. This is, in fact, the "wrong" incentive to go self hosted.

(ps: if you want me to remove RYOMS / you from the Toot, will do so in a heartbeat)

no, no, leave it.

I mean, I'll profit off the bad situation, sure. It'll keep the mortgage paid. I just... my timing was excellent, in the worst possible way.

Yeah :( Ideally, they'd realize sooner, got a copy of your book and went selfhosted before Redmond pulled the plug.

"my timing was excellent, in the worst possible way."

It's either "story of my life" or "famous last words". Either way, I feel your pain.
