Aflurry of tech companies including Amazon, Microsoft, and Google are halting sales of services and products in Russia in response to the countrys invasion of Ukraine and resulting government sanctions.
Now experts say U.S. tech giants could take it a step further and cut off access to Russian companies using their cloud computing services.
We believe its a matter of when and not if this happens as Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Oracle head down this path, Dan Ives, analyst with Wedbush, told GeekWire. With the atrocities seen, tech firms have a clear moral choice as they pull the plug on Russia.
Stopping sales within a country is one thing. Cutting off access to crucial internet services is another.
