US issues sanctions / visa bans on several EU (former) officials. Amazing stuff, check out the language used. But by all means let us run our governments & vital services on US cloud providers! (let us NOT, to be clear).

@bert_hubert uh oh.
Did you see the news about various lefty German organizations having their bank accounts closed due to U.S. pressure today?
E.g. https://www.sueddeutsche.de/wirtschaft/hilfe-e-v-kuendigungen-bankkonten-deutschland-ofac-li.3358715
This covers former European Commissioner Thierry Breton, Imran Ahmed, Clare Melford, Anna-Lena von Hodenberg, Josephine Ballon. People with (former) roles surrounding the Digital Services Act.
Wow, Anna-Lena von Hodenberg and Josephine Ballon are head of the Berlin-based non-profit @hateaid that provides advice and support to those affected by online hate speech and hate comments. The organisation is independent and non-partisan.
