    The cloud is a tool of oppression in the wrong hands, and it is in the wrong hands.

    Let the sun shine in.

    What the hell is a government doing using someone else’s cloud? I have a small business and I bought a Synology NAS years ago. How is it possible that a government does not have its own servers?

      Buying service level agreements on rented hardware is easier and cheaper (you don’t have to pay your own IT). Security and data protection, pfft nobody needs or wants that.

    As a cloud professional in the US he is 100% right. They should be worried.

      America and Europe have been supposedly allied since WW2. That’s “no longer” the case, now more obvious than ever before.

    Tried to explain that to the higher ups in my org for months.

    They introduced some proxy/VPN that pipes all of our traffic through a service that is not only breaking SSL, but also owned by a US corporation.

    That’s enough red flags to make Mao blush, but nobody saw any problem in it…
