At some point we need to start investigating the body count and ruined lives linked to these outages. 911 service is down in some places in America. CrowdStrike is killing people today, but they will not have to answer for it. There's not criminal negligence if you're a technology company, and there needs to be. @quinn There is certainly something to be said about neglicence in technology, but I would not exclude the infrastructure organisations that created knowingly a single point of failure and handed the trigger to an external entity.   @raucao @quinn About the "not forced" thing, they kind of are.
