      They do not mean anything if they are not GDPR Business compliant. They can not guarantee the inaccessability by us gov branches. The EU needs solutions independent off the haircolor of the next US President.

        i mean they’re not allowed to do business here if they aren’t. i’m not saying they are, but they put up a good enough façade that governments trust them, and they haven’t been caught yet.

      But they are a US company and US law can subpoena EU data without EU gov authorisation, so the fact their DC’s are in the EU is basically irrelevant.

      Should the EU use Russian or Chinese DC’s based in the EU?

        it’s required by law that they disclose that in their SLA, which means that when governments question it they at least say that they’re making exceptions. apparently that’s good enough, but it probably doesn’t stand up to an independent audit.
