Trump denounced the ICC, and then the ICC lost its Outlook access, its email archives, its working files, its address books, its calendars?
Microsoft says they didn’t brick the ICC – that it’s a coincidence. But when it comes to a he-said/Clippy-said between the justices of the ICC and the convicted monopolists of Microsoft, I know who I believe.
The handful of US Big Tech companies that supply the world’s administrative tools are all vulnerable to pressure from the Trump admin, and that means that Trump can brick an entire nation.
I wonder how many government departments, NHS trusts and local councils have disaster recovery plans in place for US cloud providers being blocked by sanctions?
