"What worries me the most is that the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) has endorsed the AWS European Sovereign Cloud,” French centrist MP Philippe Latombe says, explaining he fears that “the Germans start exerting pressure” against France’s highest cloud security certification, called SecNumCloud.

For Latombe, “[Amazon’s] AWS cloud cannot be sovereign because it is subject to the US FISA and Cloud Act,” legislations mandating US companies, US citizens or foreign subsidiaries on US soil to cooperate with the US security agencies.

    My bad. I guess AWS can do both, ie harvesting and selling data, giving it up every time a US agency asks for it
