significant boost in operational efficiency that will come as a consequence of centralizing operations in Europe.

On one hand, this is understandable. My employer recently went through similar learnings and dealt with this equally.

But if the whole know-how of the code and platform needs to be shifted over, this is an awful lot of risk and problems. Maybe they already did the transition. Who knows.

I don't think they intend to shutdown the service, but I wouldn't be surprised if the service gets more and more unstable, progresses slower than before and thereby slowly dies off with the competitors speeding ahead.

How are they going to funnel all that user data to the CCP if they close down. Having access to secure notes and passwords directly from people sounds like a goldmine

Back in 2014-2018 or so they set up local infrastructure centers, in China they used Tencent Cloud.

Switching this to local data centers means the government can just up and ask for that date when they want it and Chinese companies are obligated to obey, compared to when it was kept overseas.

Another example of why federated services are good idea. Also, all such services must be willing to hand over all your data. Which implies open standards and open sourced implementations.

Wait, didn't they close like years ago? I definitely remember reading something about it way before covid. Is it some kind of Mandela effect or was there something?

They got rid of their free offerings, maybe that's what you are thinking of.

If you prefer markdown and don't need a massive set of features, I highly recommend notable.
