Comment on Microsoft says EU to blame for the world's worst IT outage | Euronews

If a EU regulation was at fault, only systems in the EU should’ve been affected. There would be no reason to adhere to complicated EU rules everywhere else globally.

This doesn’t add up. They need to find a more believable fall guy.

There would be no reason to adhere to complicated EU rules everywhere else globally.

But there are a ton of websites that do adhere to complicated GDPR rules even though they serve 99.99% US based clients.

I think this has nothing to do with EU and it’s just some far fetched bullshit excuse from Microsoft.

This argument makes zero sense.

    So I don’t agree with this blame game, but in order to limit the scope of this to EU, they would have had to maintain two different designs, so it just makes sense to change the global design to suit the EU agreement. If it were something like bundling, then that’s light enough to maybe change regionally, but it’s too much to maintain a whole other kernel architecture.
    
    Happens all the time with regulations. For example my company doesn’t have different products to comply with different environmental regulations, they just compose the strictest superset of the international regulations and follow those. California passes a law and it may change the global strategy.
