Yes let's talk about all the billionaire CEOs that get sent to prison.

Anyway, the entire structure and premise of this business is that they cannot do that. A court cannot put a CEO in jail just because partner businesses do not follow his orders. Do you think it is maybe remotely possible, that Amazons lawyers and architects understand this a little bit better than you do?

I'm thinking they checked it out, they checked it out a couple of times.

There are some details in this comment from the other day: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46641592

MS lawyers could not do it (MS testified in France that they cannot). What make us believe that Amazon lawyers can?

But, Microsoft stated that even though they made an environment so that the data lives entirely within the EU they may be compelled to transmit the data back.

In the US, rule of law does not matter any more in practice. That is the problem. You can't even say it's "rule by mob" - at least the mob had an honor codex, the current administration doesn't give a single flying fuck about anything any more. Might makes right.
