This is more politics than technology, but it’s good info for people living outside the US. You can’t trust your data to American companies no matter where they store the data.
Even non-American CSPs with assets in the US would required to cooperate with US regime and affiliated oligarch gangs.
As someone in the US who has been in audits where we had to attest to where our data was stored, also wtf.Oh reading the article it means non-US sovereignty. Pretty sure anybody in IT at this point should know the US privacy laws are non-existent and US companies are in this position and have been for decades.
The article makes it pretty clear that this is due to a 2018 law called The Cloud Act. I’m sure the US could have tightened the thumbscrews and gotten the information illegally before then, but that’s going to be true of every country. No reason to think you can trust any government.
Very broken gears
Gears like this are one of my minor pet peeve in media. I know this was AI but even humans get it wrong a lot.
Isn’t this admitting to breaking EU law?
Microsoft exec admits it ‘cannot guarantee’ data sovereignty
Then you don’t get to touch my data (to the extent that I can control who already has my data without my permission…)
