Only after the nuclear bombs and full scale invasion they will think about while still using it as official communication.

It’s hard to overstate the importance of world governments realizing, and speaking publicly, on the danger of housing their confidential data solely with unregulated American providers.
As an American myself, I love to see it. If this outrage translates to changes in fundamental business practices, it could mean Americans getting better regulation of Big Tech by sheer necessity.

It’s very unlikely there will be any meaningful form of tech regulation in the US without significant societal change.

Could be, but regulation will come more readily if the bottom line of Big Tech is affected by international divestment. They don’t give a shit about customers, but they do give a shit if they lose a few billion as countries opt to go in-house.

It would be great to see them supporting democratic alternatives aswell and start posting on Mastodon, but they probably don’t even know that it exists, which is a bit sad.

It feels like the majority of all news links for videos all go back to X. It is disgusting.

Pity it took Grok making child porn before they left it.

You’re not wrong, but disentangling a whole government system from a web provider isn’t exactly a simple thing.
