I've never bought a product out of Russia and I've avoided products from other human rights violating countries for years as well. Countries that suck are kind of hard to boycott when you make a living in the tech industry though. The majority of my hardware was made in the west, but I do have an iPhone which was build in China.

Our boycott of America is more of a protest than an anti-American sentiment though. I mean, non-US citizens don't have a say in US politics, and rightfully so, but US policies do affect us. So how else would we protest Trump?

The reason for avoiding the American cloud, however, has less to do with protesting and more to do with privacy concerns. Especially now that Trump has spoken out against the Privacy Shield.
