As obvious as it is that Microsoft is a predator never to be trusted, I believe that trusting a government-run web service is a choice even worse.
We know that Microsoft at least acknowledges that GitHub being down is something they are ashamed of and aims to fix. At the same time, I feel like having an EU government-run service down over a weekend because there is no one to fix it outside business hours is something that should be expected, not frowned upon.
It is actually down right now as I am writing this comment.

- egorfine 5mo agoTrust is twofold. Will EU government service steal my data? Absolutely not, here the trust is at the highest. Will EU government screw up a commercial service? Absolutely yes. I fully trust EU governments to regulate itself to a full halt.
