Green Country mental health providers hit by sudden OMES contract termination notices https://www.byteseu.com/915854/ #ContractTermination #CREOKS #GrandMentalHealth #Health #MentalHealth #ODMHSAS #Oklahoma #OMES #services

This key American business sector has a massive trade surplus with the rest of the world. Its jobs are at risk in a trade war

Except THIS is not how any of this works!....

• All it will do is see the #USA as #unpredictable, #unstable and less #trustworthy than the "P.R." #China or even #Russia under #Putin.

#Trump literally lashing out against friends and neighbours will only backfire hard, and I expect @EUCommission and @europarl_en to enact #PrizeFreezes for #US #products & #services whilst forcing #Retaliatory #Tariffs on all US #products and espechally #services, demanding 100%+ in all #fees, and #revenue of #GAFAMs' services and products to the point that they'll effectively cancel half their revenue that flows back.

• Plus forcing all products and services to be processed and sold via a #EU-based #corporation and adding a 30% "#AlienTax" as the #USA already does for i.e. #App #developers that ain't from the US even if they never sold a single license to a US customer.

Not to mention cancelling any #DataProtection agreements that only stalled the foreseeable court decision that #CloudAct is incompatible with #GDPR, thus banning #Office365 / #Microsoft365, #iCloud et. al. from the EU!

• And yes, this level of #retaliation is not only just, but #overdue, as we need @european_alternatives / #EuropeanAlternatives to #VISA, #AMEX, #MasterCard, #PayPal, #Steam, etc.

Given #Trump can't be assed to even fake any #loyality or #allied status even for the cameras, this is a #ForeseeableConsequence.

• As only with #Accountability and #Consequences will we see change, and punishing the GAFAMs is a neessity in this regard.

Unless we want to end up #downgraded into the state of a US-occupied overseas possession without statehood, like #Guam, #PuertoRico or #AVI...

two days ago a #s3 bucket containing a SQL dump with data from #volkswagen #financial #services was deleted. I reported the bucket on the 9th of March, so it took them close to three weeks to fix it.
My mail with the responsible disclosure to #vw was never answered or acknowledged.

This is not just interesting for people living in #Europe. This is also cool for people who want to use the high #privacy and #security standards of the #EU outside of Europe.

This is a must-read as we really need to reduce or even eliminate reliance on US cloud services.
