Maybe don't guess and read the article? European data sovereignty and CLOUD act.

		But "European data sovereignty" is regulatory capture, although it sort of reads like they had a US parent company to attend y combinator and raise money, but are now moving fully to Berlin, which is what they intended from the start.

> US laws, including the Cloud Act, have created concerns across the market that American authorities could seek access to customer data.

The CLOUD Act is becoming a bigger and bigger deal here in Europe. It definitely kills deals.

"Is the CLOUD Act only applicable to U.S. cloud service providers?"

"No. The CLOUD Act applies to all electronic communication service or remote computing service providers that operate or have a legal presence in the U.S. For example, the CLOUD Act is also applicable to a cloud service provider that is headquartered in the EU and has operations in the United State"

		Seems intentionally misleading. While I agree exposure to US surveillance in non-US providers likely isn't zero, it's significantly harder for the US to do this internationally for legal, practical & political reasons. AWS is not a neutral voice on their competitor's limitations.
