We see a cyclical pattern of these concerns unfold every decade approximately. The problem is, from an outsider’s perspective at least, that Europe doesn’t come close to having cloud technology that can replace these American companies. Hetzner is probably closest. Any Europeans care to enlighten me because I’m sure I’m wrong?

European here! Hetzner's solid, but check out OVHcloud (France), Scaleway (EU-centric), and GCP/Azure regions with strict EU data compliance. The ecosystem’s growing, but scale & hype still lag US giants. GDPR pushes local hosting, though!
