Comment on Ask HN: Thoughts on using American-based cloud vendors in the Trump era?

Comments

For my hobby crap I create accounts with everyone and then allocate the most resources in the places that treat me the best, perform the best, are least vulnerable to cancel and censorship culture. Each provider waxes and wanes in their behavior from social and political pressures. This is just one of the many reasons automation is important.

If US or EU fluctuate from political pressure then I can simply move things where it makes sense at the moment. My bias will always been to try to keep things in the US so my financial data is not floating around where I can not easily visit butts in chairs and when outside the US I now use a "dirty bank" for those transactions.
