This is why my European clients are no longer using Amazon Web Services. For awhile they let us put their projects on AWS's ireland zones but even with that they were reluctant. After the NSA revelations (I know that this particular story is unrelated) they don't even allow that. The projects were only content management system projects with minimal privacy concerns. One project did have some customer data but the others were mostly just marketing material. Stories like this are just going to dry up the final remaining non-u.s. customers for u.s.-based cloud computing companies. It's almost like the u.s. government is trying to screw u.s. companies.
