- _heimdall 1y agoWell the EU absolutely could do the same thing. If an EU-based company had servers in the US, I would expect the EU could compel them to hand over data despite where the data is stored.
- bjelkeman-again 1y agoThe EU doesn’t do law enforcement. That is a national concern. But a legal request from one country to another may well happen.
- _heimdall 1y agoI misspoke there, I was meaning Europe and shouldn't have put EU. Agreed, the union doesn't have any enforcement mechanism I'm aware of that would fit, but any country in Europe could do a similar thing to companies based in their borders.
- __m 1y agoThe EU doesn't have something like the CLOUD Act, so they wouldn't be able to do that.
- danielheath 1y agoEU doesn’t have that kind of agency. Member states have spy agencies, but they also signed treaties to join the EU. Having your spy agency violate international treaties isn’t something most governments allow.
- blitzar 1y agoIf the company or individual is in a country, expect they can be compelled to hand over everything in their possession by a court order (or it can be siezed). If the information is stored in a country, expect that the owner of the information can be compelled to hand it over by a court order (or it can be seized).
