  I can not understand why there is not an enormous backlash from companies about this. All their employees have all the sensitive information on Microsoft servers. But watch out if you bring a USB stick to work…

  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.

      this is why you should encrypt everything on cloud services at rest. S3? encrypted. SQS? encrypted. MSSQL? encrypted.

      if you are a developer or SRE you need to make sure your apps are encrypted.

    As someone in the US who has been in audits where we had to attest to where our data was stored, also wtf.

      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.

  Isn’t this admitting to breaking EU law?

  Then you don’t get to touch my data (to the extent that I can control who already has my data without my permission…)

    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.
