    So long as we prohibit American firms from accessing it this is great.

    Iceland has a lot of energy, and is cold. Seems an ideal place for data centers (I have no idea if they already do this, I’m too lazy to look). Also Iceland is on a straight line between Norway and Canada, so it wouldn’t even be out of the way.

      We don’t need more disinformation centres in the west.

        Yeah, I wasn’t thinking of LLMs or anything like that. More of the old data warehouses that I used to work in 25 years ago. Or not, either way, seems like a good way to break up the cable for easier fixes if needed.

          The servers in Iceland are slow at the moment due to fibre optic issues.

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don’t end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.
