Microsoft: "Our Sovereign Cloud protects your data."

Microsoft's legal chief for France: "No, I cannot guarantee that."

Is the "sovereign cloud" nothing but "sovereign washing"?

If it's true open source, it doesn't matter where it is developed - as long as it can be hosted where it is used in compliance with applicable law. But yes, there is a lot of sovereignty-washing going on right now.

@Tutanota there's a relatively famous cookie brand, Digestive, which uses an infinitesimal footnote on their packaging: "The brand name being 'Digestive' doesn't neccesarily imply the product has any digestive property". Same case here.
@Tutanota I have sent the article to a few close friends, thank you for this interesting news.

@Tutanota

This is obvious. Not only for Microsoft. I don’t understand why people in charge refuse to understand this simple fact.

@Tutanota
cloud shit, better of if governments
in EU have there own datacenters,
even the private sector like banks needs to have that to, yes it cost money but,
it is kept in your system, not Uncle Sams
datacenters, just saying. Trust is not cheap!

Its run by Sovereign, the Reaper from Mass Effect.
