    Sucks that EU privacy protections only apply to corporations, and the governments are going for full government backdoors in everything possible.

    I’m sure their EU lobbyists can fix that.
    These politicians may not like the US anymore, but everyone likes money.

    Under Trump 2.0, some Europeans fear that storing their data in the bit barns of Microsoft, Google and AWS is no longer safe

    It never was, and all the laws that were installed to make this appear legal were nothing but meaningless fig leaves.

    Microsoft is an American company. America is broken and corrupt. No country can trust America anymore.

    These idiots forgot that an “america first everyone else last” president might alienate a pretty big part of their customer base, i.e. the rest of the world

      It’s not even America first. It’s Trump and maybe the .00001% first and fuck everyone else.

    Microsoft promising to build infrastructure in the EU directly hurts American jobs. :-D lol Trumps Tarrifs that scared the world have responded by defending themselves, US companies boosting their economies by building there and then the US jobs will be needed less as the work they’re doing now witll be in the EU.

    Trumps Tarrifs have directly boosted the economies of others while directly hurting ours and it has absolutely nothing to do with the tangible goods that Trump cares about.

      Someone should tell Trump that Microsoft is out sourcing cloud business which is worth BILLIONS.

      Thinking that needing to build infrastructure that other countries provided is an economic boost is exactly the line of thought that the Magats use to justify Tariffs. It’s not true. The resources spent building server rooms and datacenters would be better used elsewhere.

    Why would they be nervous without any serious competition for 365?

    This is the stupidest fucking trade war. Trump is an odoot who can’t recognize or understand what a service based economy is. Most of tech and IT is service based.

    Services don’t have tariffs so the US made out better in the deal. Now he’s fucked that gig for so much of our companies and people.
