I am self-hosted, then I don't mind clouds, US or not, but... I am fed up with those "clouds" which are closing their eyes on the fact that they are weaponized by hackers, to point I started to think they actually want that, aka wrecking small hosting namely more business for them.

Nearly everyday I get a scans/hack attempts(script kiddy grade for what I can see...) from some of them, this is seriously annoying and those 'scans/hack attempts' have been usually referenced by security communities, OFTEN FOR MONTHS IF NOT YEARS.

No "cloud" is spared: aws, microsoft, google, ucloud.cn (the worst), ovh, etc...

On top of that, they are "protecting" 'scanners' (onyphe/stretchoid/cyberresilience/etc), you know those guys who are scanning(when it is not some kind of script kiddy look-alike hack attempt) the whole internet, that 'for your own good' with the second line of their website being 'pricing (ahem... scan data)'. We all know that you do not scan any system without being explicitely asked for unless... military/police.... or mob.
