alt Hacker News> If my state had a similar spat with Cloudflare would we be in danger of losing the infrastructure we've grown to depend on?
Absolutely. And if any of their competitors claims they can guarantee that they won't ever (have to) pull out somewhere for political reasons, they're lying or ignorant. You cannot escape politics. One election or new law can redraw the landscape overnight.
Also I doubt you "depend" on any single SaaS product where you're completely at the mercy of another company. There's probably nothing that you couldn't swap out in a pinch.

Exactly, I can't believe the braindead takes being spouted on this thread. Is HN really filled with people that can't think critically the second they leave their terminal?
Sure but we're a nonprofit operating on shoestring budget, and given that we've had a web presence since the aughts without having to deal with CEO temper tantrums says a lot about where this kind of attitude stands. If you think somebody who runs an international company is behaving appropriately by bitching and threatening on twitter than I fear for your infra more than I fear for mine.
