I dropped a static html page and all I got was Cloudflares well known 'Performing security verification' (and so did a Google pagespeed check).

this is what we need
why is it hosted by cloudflare (us company) in stead of http://bunny.net ?

I'm not sure whether Microsoft, the makers of Windows 95 (after which I stopped taking them seriously), are the sharpest tool in the box when it comes to security.

I checked the first 3 companies I saw with the label 'EU hosted'. bunq.com and lifebit.ai are hosted on AWS, and tomtom.com is hosted on Azure.

Another reason to dump an american big tech firm and switch to Bunny.net for example. Better a democratic based error than an american greed based CEO.

As a further addition, Google does this for show (it’s not their business model) and is not equipped to deal with the criminals at Meta, as recently became apparent from, among other things, this disclosure: https://archive.is/nWpDZ https://localmess.github.io

You write: I'm fortunate enough to work at a company (enum.co) where digital sovereignty is not just a phrase.

info.addr.tools shows [1]: MX 1 smtp.google.com. TXT "mailcoach-verification=a873d3f3-0f4f-4a04-a085-d53f70708e84"

TXT "v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all"

TXT "google-site-verification=TTrl7IWxuGQBEqbNAz17GKZzS-utrW7SCZbgdo5tkk0"

This is not just a phrase, it is a DNS entry. Using the most evil in phrases of digital sovereignty.

I agree that putting your personal data into a free Google account indeed isn't a risk of sharing it with third parties. It is a guarantee.

This is the reason why I'm reading this site - this is such a brilliant idea, super simple and without any vendor lockin at all.
