**It is no longer safe to move our governments and societies to US clouds**
The continued transfer of European governmental and societal operations to American cloud services is a dangerously misguided strategy. This reliance on American infrastructure creates unacceptable vulnerabilities, especially considering the unpredictable actions and statements of the US government. The legal justifications for these transfers are weak and have been effectively undermined by recent events, highlighting the precariousness of this dependence.
The primary driver behind this concerning trend is convenience, a factor deemed insufficient to outweigh the considerable risks involved. The author expresses alarm at the complete dependence this creates on the goodwill of the US government, urging a reevaluation of this approach. A shift away from this practice is advocated, emphasizing the inherent risks of relying on a foreign power for essential societal functions.
