News organisation drops Cloudflare for European alternative

General News

Summary

Follow the Money has replaced Cloudflare with Bunny.net as part of a broader effort to reduce dependence on US technology providers. The newsroom says it wants to lower exposure to US legal and political risks and keep sensitive data away from state access. It has also identified about 20 other SaaS tools it wants to swap for non-US alternatives, including Google Workspace, Slack, Stripe, 1Password, and Shopify. The migration to Bunny.net appears straightforward so far, and the service has performed well without major issues. This makes the newsroom a public example for other organisations considering a move to European software and infrastructure vendors.
