Greece is always on top of those "hours worked per month" statistic for Europe. So at least the data strongly contradicts that notion.

This is true as well, it's very much overly apologetic. Especially noticable when using it in coding. When asking it why it did or said something seemingly contradictory, you're forced to very explicitly write something like "

Gemini is even better in that aspect, being even more to the point and neutral than Claude, it doesn't get on your nerves whatsoever. Having to use GPT is indeed as draining as it is to read LinkedIn posts.

Do you mean a local subsidiary, e.g. "AWS Europe" or "Microsoft Europe"? Those are included in those acts all the same. If not, what kind of local operator are you thinking that e.g. AWS will use?

AWS and Azure's "sovereign clouds" still effectively fall under the CLOUD Act and FISA, rendering them as sovereign as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is democratic.

IME for most TLDs and hosting providers there's no KYC to speak of. You can just fill in anything, and keep doing so. Unless I'm completely misremembering things, but I signed up to a hosting provider quite recently.
