🇺🇸 - 🇬🇱 The US military really doesn't have the best track record in #Greenland.

I hope #Wikimedia got something good out of this, otherwise it feels a lot like extortion. "Give us direct access to your data or we're going to scrape the shit outta your site over and over and over until you go broke paying for data transfers." I mean, logically this kind of deal makes sense to avoid the constant data scraping, but wow it feels like they're getting screwed in the deal unless there's some part of the arrangement that isn't public yet.

Each of us, and any organisation, who cares about freedom, should start to take measures to decouple from the USA. #Wikimedia first!
