The recent events in the US have made me seriously re-evaluate the idea of using US-based services for web hosting, social media, streaming, and all that jazz. I’m deeply saddened by the state of things, but it is what it is. I know there are a lot of good folks out there in the US (hopefully the majority) fighting the good fight. But in the end, the way things have progressed is forcing my hand to take some drastic measures.

I’ve been moving things to European services where I can, but the reality is that—especially in the web space—most of the best services are based in the US. Replacing them is really hard. At this point, it’s impossible to replace all of them. And I feel torn about having to reconsider even those services that I believe have responsible ownership.

Are any of you facing the same dilemma? I’d love to hear how others are approaching this.
