I trust Google more than any government with my data. One needs security to survive the other couldn’t care less.

Google selling data? So far no one came to blackmail me for certain dispositions, while the other does as they want, IRS, foreign governments, social security whatever.

Google can be sued while the other gives itself a pass.

Who is the baddie?

In Germany the administration put massive duties on IT providers and added punitive damage as a looming consequence.

Fast forward and the government with its “Ha, we are so digital!” and “Europe is better than US in CS!” suddenly has to swallow some brutal medicine I guess.

I stick to my guns: Silicon Valley and especially Google is art regarding code and CS evolution. Same for FAANG etc.

EU is hubris to say the least.

Every time someone says “Let’s build our own Google/Cloud/…” a penguin dies.

E Invoice will be a brutal boomerang, XRechnung the greatest backdoor of all times.

Your data, time to shift everything into the EU.

I don't understand the downvotes. Literally every single German email provider took like 5 years to implement 2FA. Even now lots of security issues with many German providers that claim privacy. Even so-called DE-mail was sham. Still somehow people assume FAANG is crap in data security. (Yes, I am not demanding privacy from ANY MultiNational company)
