That’s a dramatic oversimplification. Azure Europe runs in EU datacenters under EU laws. Microsoft’s EU Data Boundary limits access (even for US staff) It’s not as fragile as one political post bringing the whole thing down.
The IT of the ICJ on MS 365 got shut off... After a truth social post.
EU law means nothing when the employees are on the next plain to Washington. And when the funding and expertise and infrastructure is tightly controlled by USA entities, who'm react severely to the posts of the commander in Chief. (As would I)
It's not what the EU wants at all. That assumption is the root of your arguments, but it is wrong.
The EU wasn't created to shaft America or anyone else.
In fact, the reason so many US services and companies were doing business in the EU was because the USA had a stellar reputation as an ally and as a society.
But at this point, after the ICJ, Greenland annexation, weapon kill switches, White house office ambushes, hostile tarrifs, and all the other drama and threats and coercion, arrests of EU citizens etc.. it's a theme that the EU no longer can trust nor rely on the US. The US only cares for itself, not any friends and allies.
Put simply: The USA wouldn't host it's federal websites on Alibaba Cloud. And the US isn't a trusted reliable friend and ally anymore, as regrettable as that is, it means a pivot away from relying on anything US is necessary. And common sense. To anyone not drinking the cool aid. ;)
