> MS offers Office 365 Deutschland, which is mostly identical with Office 365 but operated by T-Systems AWS recently wrote me an email, that because my billing address is in the EU, my contract has been transferred to a newly founded company AWS EU, which in turn has subsidiaries in most EU countries. I have no significant business with AWS and have not investigated what this all means. But I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon sees the risk that with the current US administration they don't want to rely on international business anymore. Having only national (or intra-EU) contracts with their EU customers seems just the safer option. Dealing with investments and profits inside a group of fully owned subsidiaries is probably much easier than dealing with two fundamentally different systems in every single customer contract. The EU striving for data-protection and the US insisting that foreigners have no rights and international treaties are bad unless they unilaterally favor the US.
