Russia is a dictatorship, the EU isn't. Two can do the same thing for different reasons.

British Columbia also has a similar law which has been reasonably well received.

If I make a Google Doc from British Columbia, it is transferred to and stored on 15 servers in 5 datacenters, all outside British Columbia.

An image in the same document ends up in (kinda, depends how you measure) 4 servers in 3 locations - also none of them in BC.

Is Google breaking the law here, or is there some exception?
