lungdart323680dI think alibaba is a very large provider, might be 4th or 5th depending on where Oracle fits these days.
It's 100% going to be infested with communist party snooping, but that could make it more affordable if you don't care about that kind of thing. -
azuredivay101980d@lungdart I guess they're alright then
Snooping/US interference is why I'm avoiding AWS/Azure tbh, coz ofc everyone's gonna snoop (open secret at this point) but with US banning websites/networks/IP subnets and currencies of "enemy" countries
I can't trust their companies with putting "Customers first", they'll always be "oh but our Govt said Fuck You so we've to comply" if the oldies in US Govt decide to find a new "enemy" when they get bored of the old ones -
lungdart323680d@azuredivay not much you can do. Governments are going to government. Companies can either comply or leave.

TeachMeCode514779dI would stay out of anything that has to do with Ali. But I heard Temu cloud is awesome

lorentz1494079dThere are a couple very affordable European providers in countries that are democratic but don't have extensive wiretapping laws like the US. I guess as a US citizen it makes sense that you would prefer enemies of the US because they're the least likely to comply with a US warrant.
