Given the US Cloud Act, how Monzo is protecting customers' financial data from being accessed by foreign government without Monzo's knowledge?
Everyone does it, does not excuse it.
Also shows lack of faith in British business.
- danpalmer 1mo agoWhich British businesses provide this sort of infrastructure? I ask this as a Brit who ran stuff on a few UK providers, and ultimately moved to a cloud platform because of the combination of terrible service and lack of features. The landscape may have changed, but in my experience it was bleak circa 2020.

- danpalmer 1mo agoThere's a now dead comment giving a few options. One of those options was the main driver for my previous company moving fully to GCP, they were atrocious and caused a major security incident for us. They also regularly took days to action urgent fixes. I'm not saying the UK doesn't have data centres, but it's easy to do a crap job of running one. In my experience there's a level of competence that is missing from UK operations. Hetzner and OVH are noticeably better, but still not quite at the level of the main cloud providers.
