You don't like it as a company, not a problem just don't incorporate in the US and live with the repercussion. There is nothing that suggests that it is out of the ordinary or malicious. Where it becomes interesting is access without a warrant, or with a muzzle attached, at large scale. That is the clandestine stuff. The purview of intelligence agencies. That has been addressed by the EU with legislation; privacy shield was not really the hit, but guess what: MS complied. https://www.reuters.com/technology/microsoft-roll-out-data-b... so spooks from the US will now have a harder time accessing user data at scale without a warrant. |

That is entirely US-based and ignores any laws or regulations of other countries.

The key: operate. The US claims data from those companies even if the data and the operations happen in foreign countries.

EU legislation does not negate US laws. CLOUD Act is still there. And that is a huge issue for any country dealing with US companies.
