A quiet but deeply unsettling moment just shook the foundations of international justice, proving why Europe needs digital sovereignty - and most Europeans not too interested in tech likely missed it: The Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), a court based in The Hague and central to Europe’s upholding of human rights, suddenly found that his email account was shut down. The service provider? Microsoft. The reason? Mr. Trump…
YEAR OF THE LINUX DESKTOP
Feels like Sheen bringing in UltraLord for show and tell.
I welcome my country’s (USA) cutting off at the knees to provide greater diversity in tech allocation. It made sense to rely on corporations in the USA when our leadership wasn’t outright hostile to the rest of the world, at least from the perspective of the people making such decisions. We have proven to be a rogue state. We can be trusted with nothing.
Isolate us and reduce the amount of harm we are capable of delivering. My sincerest apologies to the rest of the world for the shitty decisions of my fellow citizens.
It never made sense to rely on American corporations. Even for Americans.
So Trump tries to hamper the ICC through infrastructure. Mess with the email, and everything stops, right? That’s how he believes it works?
Hey, Trump, you may not believe this, but the ICC have these things called “legally defined purpose” and “established procedures”. I know you’ve recently proven that as far as the USA is concerned, those are just theoreticals that you think you can revoke at whim, but unfortunately for you, here in the democratic world they still mean something, as far as I know. No email outage will stop this show.
The fucking site auto-translated without my asking , and provided no obvious way to show the original.
I really, really fucking hate this.
This reads like a long advertisement for Tuta.
Trump is the best thing to ever happen to Europe in recent history
