what a surprise. Evil Company does Evil things.

good.

I swear to god if the UK gives the world yet MORE surveillance state...

This one is EU I think, but yes UK and everyone else needs to actually protect their citizens' rights.

> This one is EU I think...

You misspelled Palantir.

Tolkien had a lot of other catchy names which are yet unused. EU can create it's own Angband or Ungoliant spying corporation :) .

Gorgoroth sounds about right.

hilarious that this got flagged. You americans are massive cry babies

the world becomes a better place, slightly

makes more sense to host your own at such scale. The more you fragment your infrastructure the more likely something is to break. Its the same idea of doing a raid 0 on multile drives: if a single one fails, all your stuff breaks.

makes no sense that google is behind all this, considering twitch(which uses AWS) and Microsoft outlook(Azure) also were having issues around the same time

Twitch and Outlook probably have an indirect dependency on GCP. Say, one of their third parties uses Cloudflare which uses GCP.

I was surprised germany got attacked so much
