Small, so very easy for me to do and little impact, much harder obviously for large businesses.

Still, I would flag use of US services as a major risk for non-US businesses right now. Having previously run a >200 person software company, I probably wouldn't immediately move all services to non-US alternatives, but I sure would have a migration plan ready and alternative explored and selected in case shit hit the fan for US software.

Given the current state of things, I think it's entirely plausible that US services are either hit with things like tariffs, or end up suffering US state censorship at some point.

You had a higher risk for that with the democrats, remember the AI videos that upset Kamala and Gavin?

European countries have a far worse track record of censorship.

If it's propaganda then I guess it would take you no effort to prove me wrong instead of writing nonsense.

I guess you are now going to prove that this didn't happen: https://www.gov.ca.gov/2024/09/17/governor-newsom-signs-bill...

Guess some Trump propagandist infiltrated California in 2024.

So far I haven't heard any similar plans of censorship from team red, but since I don't have a dog in the race, point it out if I missed it.
