    Why would anyone think storing any amount of a nations data or services in a foreign country was safe. No if you want that data/service to be safe and private, then no, that would never ever be a safe option.

        OR rely on US military tech.

        These are the leopards people invited in while they still had confidence USA was bumbling but not subvertible . Oh how the leopard turns.

    hey.

    Psst.

    That antivirus software you and your gov installed on every machine out there, that scans every file when it’s closed, to “ensure it’s not carrying a virus.” That one.

    Who makes it? In America, you say?

    No, not Defender; but let’s talk about that too. Who makes the OS and crucial apps your local council uses? Muni, Region, Federal – all Microsoft, Splunk, Solarwinds (even after they were super-pwned), Checkpoint, Office, Azure. All American? Really?

    If we put TP-Link and RedFlag Linux and Kaspersky and Huawei on do-not-buy lists for privacy and espionage concerns, tell me how we’re reacting to the risky new path of the US government and its Krasnov operative.

    The time to develop sovereign digital infrastructure was like a decade ago. Better late than never I guess. Good news is that the only way Europe can do this is by leveraging open source, so maybe we’ll see more support for that going forward.
