It's Hertzner for that specific reason of it's an EU company. Yea, the EU really needs to fix the EU-US GDPR issues. It's not like the US will.

- hnbad 2y ago> Yea, the EU really needs to fix the EU-US GDPR issues. It's not like the US will. And how would the EU "fix" the issues posed by the US's disregard for privacy? They tried several times but Schrems keeps tearing it down by pointing out the basic fact that you don't get a pass for violating civil rights by being the US.
- that_guy_iain 2y agoI dunno, I'm not a lawmaker but get a treaty so that those laws don't apply to data in the EU would work maybe?
- hnbad 2y agoSo in other words, the US would have to change (or limit the scope of) its laws? Then yes. But the implication was that the EU could do something to make such a treaty work and other than repeal and replace GDPR I don't see any way as long as the US insists on playing secret police when it comes to foreign data subjects.
