This is surely not what OP was referring to, but: arguably worse than incarcerations, I strongly condemn EU sanctions against EU citizens and residents, such as Hüseyin Dogru, Jacques Baud, and Nathalie Yamb, merely for speech that is not aligned with EU foreign policy.

Note that I don't consider it at all relevant whether one agrees/disagrees with the content of their speech.

    If this isn't what OP was referring to, why bring it up? I don't see how this is relevant, to the security of data from European companies, stored in European clouds.

      It is a related complaint. Moving services to a jurisdiction where free speech is grossly violated (even the lower level of free speech that was prevalent in the EU compared to US).

        In the past, protection of free speech in the EU might have been less absolute, than in the US. Given the actions of the current US administrations and the (in)action of the supreme court, free speech in the US currently doesn't even serve its most essential purpose of being able to criticize the government, without fear of repercussions (e.g. Kimmel, Colbert).

        As such moving services to the EU jurisdiction is most likely also better, if you're concerned about free speech, at least for the moment.

    The whole post is a gish gallop of half truths and nonsense.

      That is indeed true. OP fails to raise a single point that either makes sense or is grounded on reality. Sometimes I wonder where consuming propaganda stops and wilful ignorance starts.
