It's SO funny how apparently for almost 20 years we (as in the west outside the USA) decided that using Chinese cloud platforms or networking hardware was dangerous and to be avoided, but private US companies? Nothing to see here!

Silver lining of the orange man is that maybe countries will wake up and smell the digital sovereignty that we sorely lack.

Why are there no major competitors outside the USA? Is there no “Silicon Valley” in the EU?

Then those EU firms should immediately make getting out of anything and everything Microsoft a top priority. As a US citizen, all our government and companies understand is personal profit and personal data hording. So make it hurt where they will feel it.

And I'm assuming anywhere else that microsoft operates (the entire world) would be the same too, no? I don't know why this rhetoric would be specific to the EU.

Well some of those countries are part of 5 eyes, 9 eyes, and 14 eyes
