    Does RENTING digital infrastructure from a company using their fully owned and controlled interfaces and contracts make you more of a tenant than an owner—locking you into their ecosystem, their rules, and their future decisions, rather than building on a foundation you truly control? If that company is heavly involved, head quarted, and ran out of a foreign country does it effect the soverignty of governments depending on it?

    Well yeah, no fucking shit.

    Why do they say such BS? All these questions are well known and answered.

    American cloud companies are 100% unable to provide anything sovereign in Europe or elsewhere, (even when they give it that name now).

      I worked for one and I happen to know they violate European data laws by spying on employees (surprised?). An internal lawyer told us to keep quite about it and that they would find a legal pathway to punish those they wanted to punish.

      yes seriously, its all in the fecking CLOUD Act; why are CTOs so ignorant of it when they deal with the devil? My Company does everything on US Services and we deal with highly sensitive user and health data!
