    This is more politics than technology, but it’s good info for people living outside the US. You can’t trust your data to American companies no matter where they store the data.

      As someone in the US who has been in audits where we had to attest to where our data was stored, also wtf.

        if you are a developer or SRE you need to make sure your apps are encrypted.
