You have been warned yet again, the US cannot be trusted...

Microsoft, under oath, admits the possibility that EU‑hosted data can be accessed by US agencies without any notifications

In sworn French‑Senate testimony, Microsoft’s legal chief for France(M. Anton Carniaux) conceded he cannot guarantee that data on French citizens stored wholly in EU Microsoft datacenters is safe from U.S. silent access and acknowledged that French or any EU authorities might not even be notified if access occurs.

Delivered under oath, this statement is an official legal recognition of the silent‑access risk inherent in relying on Microsoft’s infrastructure.

@devopscats The best approach any organization or individual can do now is to host their own email. Cloud computing just cannot be trusted to do the right thing. It’s why I pulled my email and data out of the cloud and I now #selfhost. I need to go back to writing a guide on how to do this so more people can do it and reclaim their freedom.
