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.
Yeah. I don’t think a lot of tech companies really thought through the impacts of Trump burning up America’s international reputation.
It’s hard to have an international presence when the international community hates your product and you no longer have leverage to negotiate.
