- marcosdumay 4y agoYes, the Italian law that prohibits sending data abroad applies to Google Italia, but Google USA is submitted to the USA law, that says that the USA government can request any data from Google Italia and they are required to get it. So the existence of Google USA makes Google Italia operation illegal.

- Knufferlbert 4y agoWell, depends, fundamentally it's a paradox. Either US company get's the data from the Italian one, making the Italian operation illegal in Italy Or The US company doesn't get the data from the Italian one (despite ownership), making the US company illegal in the US. I don't think anyone is under the illusion that the latter option is chosen when push comes to shove.
