We have IRC and it shines bright! But seriously: Google just needs to move the problematic part of their EU business into EU and start complying.

- Kbelicius 5y agoIf I'm understanding this correctly there is nothing google can actually do. The problem is the US Cloud Act as the linked article mentions, which is in direct violation of article 44 of GDPR.
- johannes1234321 5y agoit is not so easy for Google. The US side will always demand stuff from them. At least for having the ability. Microsoft once had the right™ offering: Deutsche Telekom running the Azure data center, so it's the same software etc., but legally fully separated. Didn't get many customers (I don't know what kind of restrictions there were)
- tremon 5y agoAFAIK that company only ever had one customer: the German government.
- magila 5y agoCloudflare currently uses a similar arrangement with JD Cloud to offer service in China. It'd be pretty funny if they had to use the same approach in Europe.
- MomoXenosaga 5y agoThe Chinese seem to have a better grasp on sovereignty and power than the EU.
- nabla9 5y agoIt is just as easy as it is to run EU things in the US. Google can run the same servers and stuff in Europe with European stuff in their own servers. They just disable things not allowed in EU and don't send user data to the US.
