Don't some try to locate public access points nearby? Or is it just an internet myth?

Yeah, any business would have to either accept this request or leave the market. Jack Dorsey has no relation to that.

But they can use some other instance. With centralized platforms the issue is that they want to do business everywhere. Russia threatened to arrest Google employees in Moscow, for instance. Even without such threats, they want to have access to local markets. That isn't a concern for some instance in Ireland that is supported by donations.

What costs money is testing phases, including a lab to hold and propogate immortal cell lines and later production lines to create enough doses for thousands of human trials.

Thank you. These arguments are always hard to read. Sure, small labs are where it usually starts, but without enormous and risky investments, we would never have the drugs we have today. Most of these investments fail miserably, so one successful drug must cover the costs of ten unsuccessful ones. Nobody would do that if their IP weren't protected. It's more about reputation than facts when it comes to this topic.

Why did it take six months to resolve the issue? What steps did you take, how did they respond? Serious claims require proper explanation at the very least.

From the article:

The Israeli military uses Microsoft Azure to compile information gathered through mass surveillance, which it transcribes and translates, including phone calls, texts and audio messages, according to an Israeli intelligence officer who works with the systems.

From my understanding, they use AI to automate the processing of text, audio, and video data collected by the intelligence services.

Both things can be true because Germany is talking about risks in the upcoming 5 to 10 years, while this issue is relevant today.

That's strange. A lot of people from Russia continue contributing on GitHub without any issues.

It's funny that with how enclosed the Apple ecosystem is, even they don't force you to create an Apple account to use macOS.
