Hetzner, OVH, Leaseweb, Scaleway. How many cloud providers do you need?
Please remember me for how long OVH was down when they lost an entire "DC"? And how much customer data did they lose?
I'd even be happy with one that makes it in the top 10.
What does it mean these days to be a “European website” (or a “Canadian website”, etc)? The server is located in Europe? The domain name is owned by a company registered in Europe? What if a CDN serves the site from another location? What if the site is served in an iframe on a site in another location?
The CLOUD Act itself is the issue. Don't use MS Office 365 or any other US based service even if their servers are in Europe as they can not guarantee that your data is not accessible by the US. Amazon and Cloudflare are all great service but your data is under US jurisdiction.
So the entire EU is going to be forced to use Open Office or some other equivalent? Non tech people will hate this and it will cripple many businesses that rely on Microsoft Excel. You'd be surprised how much of the world economy is based on emailing Excel sheets back and forth
If the answer to #1 is no, then any assertions that Google is not operating as a monopoly in the space are undercut. If the answer is #2 is no, then there are quite a few BI/Analytics/Strategy personnel who might find their value more difficult to justify!

Libertarianism is so silly. "My freedom to live would be best served if there weren't politicians micromanaging other people's right to murder me". It's like a parody.
Libertarianism is definitely against murder. And quite a few libertarians believe that the FDA and EPA do too much to protect corporations from lawsuits, basically, if it meets their guidelines doesn't matter if it kills you, the company is protected. Absurd reductionism isn't helpful.

Looks great! But I feel that $9/month (up to 10k views) is a bit much for my personal website... I pay that much to Google now, but I get a whole suite of tools besides analyticsm, like email addresses (for my whole family under our surname as a domain, which is cool), my own domain (via GogoDaddy, but I got that via Google and pay Google only) and all the small business office tools they offer (though I think those…
Why do you need analytics for your personal website?
I've heard Google is working on a new cookie-less version of GA just like plausible and other privacy-focused GA alternatives. Wondering if this cookie-less GA would still come under the ban.
I really hope this will have consequences that shake up ad tech, but the cynic in me says: They're just going to add another disclaimer in their cookie banner and exactly nothing will happen.
The problem is that most people just dont read cookie banners and just click "Accept all"

But there are extreme factions of libertarians who really question things like "Do mothers really have a duty to take care of their children?" or think that private tribunals would work in practice.
