Imagine being the person in the Finland Ministry of Justice who's been railing on about this for years and constantly getting shit on by idiot managers who can't install (or use) their own software. Watch it make the national news and then they decide to go ahead and use AWS anyway.
I'm pretty sure a lot of us are that person.
Some of us here think it's no coincidence the move was considered just as a right wing government happens to be in power. Especially since there was no significant cost savings from the proposed move.
It was already unpopular, but the USA going full Putin now has the average Finn also seeing it as suspicious, instead of just the left wing.
i mean, reality has a slight left wing bias.
