      • Careful now, your Lemmy instance may run on AWS. (Haven’t checked at all — but what I am trying to say is that a lot of people blinded themselves with half-baked ideas about TCO and stumbled right into American cloud services.)

      • You will never get Amazon or Apple blocked in Germany. X or Meta sure… but Germans are way too lazy to not use Amazon and Apple fanboys would go crazy if they couldn’t buy the stuff in Germany.

        • From that list I see amazon as the least problematic though. Still problematic of course, but compared to the likes of Meta, Google or X they at least don’t have influence on the information you get. They “just” dominate shoppng and hosting

          • Yes, but the owners of these companies, all billionaires, influence society and the markets for their own benefit, and the lives of the American people are getting worse every year…
