Something else disturbing is how much European governments trust Microsoft/Azure. They are normally allergic to US big tech but Microsoft has somehow convinced European governments to hand out their citizens data.

Due to Schrems I, Schrems II rulings data flows to U.S. out of EU are largely illegal. Due to TADPF these flows are now quasi-legal, but the deal announced by Commission will be struck down in CJEU in similar fashion as they were before.
