What happens if say EU were to pass a law that no data stored in EU data centered be shared with non-EU countries ? In such case no company can obey both laws. How will this be handled ?
- jeroenhd 8y agoActually, the EU privacy laws already forbid loads of data being stored in countries where the privacy of that data might not be maintained. When the US was ruled as not trustworthy enough, the Privacy Shield agreement was quickly thrown together. That's currently why some sensitive information about European citizens is allowed to be stored on US soil. However, acts like these (Cloud act, PATRIOT act, etc.) make me, as a European, very uncomfortable. I hope the EU will take action against the US. Russia and China already have regulations that certain information can only be stored inside their own country's borders and MS Outlook still works fine; there's no need for the EU to just take crap like this without putting up a fight.
