I'm not saying anything about this particular case, but this shows that Microsoft and other US tech giants have the power to politically disrupt or hurt a country, or in our case, a whole continent.

If the US/tech giants for whatever reason decide that Europe needs to be punished, they can hurt us really bad by just turning all our digital services down, which could potentially cause chaos depending on the scale.

Europe needs to start using European alternatives to American IT services!

Edit: Just to be clear - I'm not posting this to discuss the Israel/Palestine conflict, or whether what Microsoft did here was right or wrong. I'm trying to raise awareness of a potential dangerous dependancy of American tech, and am trying to promote European tech in a group called Buy European.
