Microsoft representative says US CLOUD Act comes before other country's sovereignty.
US Law stops at US Borders.
I don't think so. And that's a good thing.
My EU's GDPR doesn't care in which country a business stores its data (=the data of their customers). If their offerings are available in the EU, they have to comply with it or risk a hefty financial wrist-slap otherwise.
Reminds me of American tourists trying to bring their guns into Canada because of The Second Amendment.
Bitch, there's no Second Amendment here. Show us your Restricted Firearms Licence or hand it to the border beaver.
In this particular case, if you have your data in a US cloud provider regardless of that data’s data centre location, then that US cloud provider is compelled to provide that data upon request by the US government.
Which is why you should not have your data with a US cloud provider.
