It is incredibly stupid and counterproductive to make this kind of statement publicly. Most of the GAFAM companies are doing their utmost to try to reassure their European customers with a facade of sovereignty.

All these efforts will come to nothing.

it doesn't mean anything after Microsoft turned over eu government leaders emails to the US.

the damage is done. trump fanning the flames and then using ham fisted threats that frankly carry no weight now... are just making it worse.

the money's already been allocated. the results are inevitable.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I don't think these initiatives really protect Europeans. Anton Carniau, a Microsoft executive, testified before the French Parliament that ‘as a last resort, if we are forced to, we must transmit the data’, ‘You cannot guarantee that data entrusted to UGAP will never be transmitted to the US authorities without the explicit consent of the French authorities’.

I just wanted to say that cloud companies were doing a better job of ensuring the collection of European data than Trump's diplomacy.
