Comment on Welcome to the new world of risk: Microsoft cuts off services to energy company without notice
Dadifer@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoSo if I paid a lawyer to hold certain documents for me, but the lawyer was afraid the EU would somehow hurt their profits, and then the lawyer said, you can’t have your documents, with no judicial review, no hold ordered, no orders, you think that’s ok?

Companies operating in certain jurisdictions are subject to various forms of export control and other types of compliance policies when dealing with foreign entities. I’m sure this Russian company was aware of that when choosing Microsoft as their cloud provider. They probably should have chose a Russian cloud provider instead, though that might have exposed them to more of Putin’s corruption while protecting them from anti-Putin sanctions. Kind of a lose-lose either way for them I guess.
