Isn’t crap like this why EU countries are suddenly interested in Linux and open source software. By US law, anything contracted to a server powered by US software, anywhere in the world, needs to be accessible to the US government. China started a purge years ago, with all government computers and servers to be running KylinOS by 2030, though the Western press rarely covered it. The open source software community has been screaming about proprietary software for years, but government bureaucrats were blinded by $ signs.
