I did. Some of my clients by design host everything on German servers of Azure and call it a day.

- ta20240528 1y agoThen your customers are morons, let me explain: 1. the USA has secret FISA courts - defendants cannot even say they whether they were summoned, let alone what case or judgements were 2. the CLOUD Act compels American companies to hand over data, regardless of where its hosted. So your German companies would never even know if they have been compromised. But ignorance can be bliss.
