If this doesn’t get the French state to get Microsoft and US tech out of all their public offices, I don’t know what will.
I mean that’s been known since the Snowden leaks
Hopefully this will get something moving
If it makes you feel any better, Microsoft can’t protect US data from Chinese access either.
I will use this opportunity to post this link
Share it to someone that needs an alternative to windows :)
Fuck Microsoft but aren’t there data residency laws that say French data must be stored in Europe?
So that way, when push comes to shove, no country has their data hosted on enemy servers?
I’m not saying companies follow this, but I always thought they made these laws as part of GDPR.
Well then, time to start fining them under GDPR.
They can be fined if they actually use the data wrongly. However, them admitting is already important. It should be very obvious to anyone that there is not such thing as ‘European enclaves’ in these hyperscalers. Even if they host the data in Europe, unless it is an european company that does not have to comply with the US state, then the data is available to the US government.
