uspol, us cloud providers, request for feedack
I have a meeting planned with the head of my department to voice my concerns about using Google Cloud.
I have two points that I would like to make:
* Ideological, about whether we should sponsor Google, which was so quick to step in line with Trump and Elon
* Operational, about the risk we take by relying on a platform that is easily weaponized in a trade conflict
Are there more arguments to be made against US cloud that could be compelling?

@polyfloyd Probably the privacy argument? https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/maar-is-het-legaal-om-persoonsgegevens-in-de-us-cloud-te-zetten/

@joepie91 Ooh yes, good one. I heard about this but do not fully understand it. I'll see whether I can make sense of it with that article!

@polyfloyd I would also recommend Bert Hubert's recent articles about government cloud in general; they tend to be pretty heavily sourced, so there's probably more useful arguments in there
