alt Hacker NewsI'm not even going to read the article. If your hotel depends on some cloud service to prevent chlorine gas poisoning you're doing something terribly wrong. Full stop. I don't know anything about the laws in Germany but this is dangerously close to libel in the US.

I don’t understand why someone would design a pool system that can harm swimmers with chlorine and the only safety is an automated email notification, and then blame the email provider and not their own system design for it.
