Why would ANY global business still rely on U.S. Tech? The U.S. government, through their executive orders and dissolving of the separations of powers, has demonstrated its ability to unilaterally disrupt or shut down private technology services at will. How can any business justify depending on U.S.-based tech infrastructure when its access could vanish overnight on a political whim by an unstable president?

If there is no rule of law, capital, talent and trust are flowing out of that country - for good reason.

EU is the entity with fascist Hungary and Slovakia having veto powers, isn't it? The one where "free" countries like Denmark push for encryption backdoors?

I think I'll avoid them - for good reason

Lmao, westoids having hard takes on Slovakia after reading headlines on reddit is the funniest thing ever, if only you knew how wrong you are

Quick example, people who stop at headlines keep talking about Fico yapping about stopping aids to Ukraine, yet they give more as a percentage of their gdp than Germany, France, the UK, &c. Fico's a piece of shit but don't stop at what he says, half of his bs doesn't make it further than headlines in western medias
