GitLab is now running on GCP

Hetzner would like a word with you. Not only that, but there are tons of low-profile "cloud" hosting providers who only market to a single nation or a small region. Their websites are usually not in English. A couple years ago I did some digging on prominent South Korean websites, and they were all hosted by national providers.

"On January 11, 2016, Hetzner blocked the St. Petersburg site of Novaya Gazeta, the leading oppositional, non-governmental newspaper in Russia. The newspaper marked the act as political censorship without any legal procedure."

Kudos on your Wikipedia research, but I don't think this has anything to do with my comment.

I pointed out OVH as a cloud provider with a strong stance on the internet without borders.

Hetzner doesn't come even close in this regard.

Perhaps in your mind you did, but the comment I replied to was not so specific.

You might be right. Nevertheless, Hetzner is not an alternative to GCP.

Can confirm Hetzner, I've been using hetzner for months, in addition to AWS and GCP.
