It bothers me more that it was held in the Netherlands than that it was held on Azure servers.

It’s a fucking disgrace to any government to be facilitating anything like this, and the Netherlands seems extra complicit.

But why do you think the Netherlands govt was in anyway involved in this? I host some bsremetal in the Netherlands but I don't need to report to the government what I store..
