Thanks for being here. Hopefully you can answer some more questions. If company is owned by US entity (AWS/Amazon), can it also block customers by the US government request, similar to how MSFT blocked ICC access to its email service?

Perhaps if Amazon.com Inc. own 100% of the shares as a financial holding but not as a corporate subsidiary, no voting rights, no board seat, no influence whatsoever etc. then there is a chance US requests would have to go via EU courts ... Disclaimer: Not a lawyer or PR person.

  How would corporate governance work if the only shareholder had no voting rights and no board seat?

    Similarly to how it would work if a shareholder had a conflict of interest - the directors are required to govern in the companies best interest not the (conflicted) shareholders interests.
