Itโ€™s the same with Chinese companies. In the past we thought that the US was benign but not any more.

    I've never thought it and don't know why others did. If you where not American why would giving the US control of your infrastructure be a good thing? People just didn't plan for relations to change I guess.

    You may not however in Australia our systems were supplied by US corporations for decades before cloud storage and processing became a thing. Every data centre was local but then some started to be owned/operated by those corporations, then started hosting in foreign countries. Itโ€™s a gradual transition where the risks were not obvious. Not so today.
