I'm not sure I understand what's happening here. If they sent the IP address (by mistake), I guess that's a violation irrespective if it's in the EU or the US?

I'm not sure I understand what's happening here. If they sent the IP address (by mistake), I guess that's a violation irrespective if it's in the EU or the US? Does this mean that an EU company can no longer host their main app with Google Cloud, AWS, DigitalOcean, Linode etc, even if the servers the EU?
disclaimer: I donated to NOYB and worked with them on a complaint. I definitely support their cause. However, I also run a small bootstrapped digital business in the EU and complying with all regulations can become increasingly difficult...
- AlanYx 5y agoThe position of Schrems/NOYB, as far as I understand it, is that using a cloud service potentially subject to US law, irrespective of where the servers are actually located, is inconsistent with the GDPR. He basically says the same thing in the linked article: "The bottom line is: companies can't use US cloud services in Europe anymore. It has now been 1.5 years since the Court of Justice confirmed this a second time, so it is more than time that the law is also enforced."
- gingerlime 5y agoI understand they take a strong stance, but this does feel quite limiting if the expectation excludes nearly all cloud service providers… not even talking about analytics but just VPS hosting, database, CDNs etc
