EU competitors to AWS probably getting a lot of business from US businesses who don't want Donald Trump reading their data.
You hear that, EU? Lean hard into your data sovereignty, if only to piss off America.
It's really fascinating to see the usa empire go down in flames like a metaphorical hindenburg.
Wow.
From a unitedstatesian: please tell our diplomats to fuck off, emphatically. GDPR is a fucking godsend, and I wish it applied to us over on this side of the pond.
As a Californian damned to live under this shithole of an empire, I would also like to encourage Europeans to tar and feather any and all American diplomats.
technically it does.
there's no requirement that vendors have to verify your country of origin and asking for that kinda breaks gdpr.
just request your right to be forgotten and they will just comply.
My condolences.
that's how you know were doing it right 🇪🇺💪
this. exactly.
Eject US diplomats then. The US isn't welcome at the worlds table.
France has already cut off the US ambassador from having contact with government officials.
France so based. I can't believe I talked so much shit of them in the past lmao
And the US ambassador to Belgium was summoned by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, after which all was settled.
This is not how you deal with fascists.
At least someone it taking steps in the right direction.
Data sovereignty seems to be a new war front.
US orders... to fight EU
Fight back!
Or ignore them, they are diplomats, the fuck are they going to do about it?
Wars were never started by cobblers or music teachers. It always were diplomats/politicians.
This just shows that our efforts are working! Wonderful!
Pesky EU, why can't they just let the US have their cake and eat it too. So unfair /s
The best way to fight back is for users to stop using as much as possible services and products from big tech companies who gave Trump millions of $. There will be nothing he could do about it 🖕
oh so they will make the process to speed up
U.S. diplomats can suck a fat, sovereign one.
