Im very happy to finally see this happen. It's so dangerous to centralize our digital services in the United States.

But are they really not using Azure Europe?

Azure Europe is one truth social post removed from a shutdown.

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.

Ofcourse it is.

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)

Inaccurate.

The ICJ email issue was tied to a support contract suspension.

If the EU wants full independence, that’s a fair goal, but we should be clear about what's actually happened versus what feels like it could happen.
