Turns out the China great wall that European preach about is a wise decision.
You know, I kinda wanna see it. Trump threatens internet access, and when Europe understandably takes precaution, he’ll whine and cry about how unfair Europe is trying to screw over America with evil nasty EU and threatens 10 billion % tariff.
But on a semi-related topic, what is it with him and EU anyway? Did von Leyen killed his dog when he was a kid or something?
ladies and gentlemen, digital sovereignty!
And leave IT corporations without its biggest market…
This is where I draw the line. You threaten my porn, I become radicalized.
If Trump, for whatever reason decided to simply „pull the plug“ on Europe as a whole, it would send US tech companies spiraling. And with the weight they are pulling in the US stock market, it could very well trigger something much worse for the US.
Because even if US (based) hosting services became unavailable overnight, it wouldn’t stop there. There would be an arms race to develop, and replace most everything made in the US – hardware, software, as those would be seen as a huge liability.
The only scenario I can foresee such an even, would be some sort of war between the US and the majority of EU.
Even smaller targeted outages – say only one country – could trigger such events.
In any case, if that happens – I believe his (Trump) corporate overlords would come knocking on his door, *real fast*.
I wonder how long it would take the EU to rebuild that stack, i think the US would be dissapointed
Ya know, all the major websites all have distributed servers across the world.
This will never happen. Above all, Trump follows the money. If he threatens tech giants like Amazon/MSFT/Google’s entire business, he’d be impeached and out the door by the end of the week.
Trump may not be rational when it comes to local governance, cultural issues, foreign policy, common sense, or anything else, but if he cuts off the biggest and most lucrative industry that the USA has, you can bet every billionaire in America will have his intestines in a skewer. Impeachment would be the least of his worries.
