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.
The US have a history of using their intelligence agencies to help US companies win bids abroad, we may have been militarily allied, but in the business world we have been enemies for a long time
Using a non government owned and controlled cloud for the government is fucking stupid no matter who owns it. It’s only a slightly less bad idea to host it on a cloud owned by an EU company still has the risk of the company being compromised and hiding it for too long.
It never was.
