No One does!

I'm not a big fan of Sam Altman, but violence like this is not a solution; it has the actually opposite effect as it probably did with Trump.

> AWS China wouldn't have happened if they didn't offer enough safeguards.

AWS China vs. AWS EU: Data centers in China are managed by Chinese companies, whereas DCs in the EU are managed by USA companies.

From a regulatory perspective, it's two different worlds. The Patriot Act can happen in the EU, not in China.

This is why GDPR does allow that EU user data is transferred to non-EU countries, but not to the USA.[0]

Furthermore, a discernible trend has emerged, attributable to the inadequacies in privacy regulations and suboptimal Trump geopolitical strategies with the EU, the EU is actively seeking better cloud services [1].

TBH, I would not trust AWS with countering the Patriot Act.

I'm not expecting 100% SLO, but using Cloudflare cloud service while you are a cloud service is little ridiculous.

This is how they compare with AWS: https://upcloud.com/competitors-and-alternatives/aws
