Governments will need to learn the cost of doing business with US corporations or their subsidiaries. They will need to learn that their information kept with any US is no longer secure due to US law. Merely having it accessible to a US corporation is enough.

How many governments cannot subpoena information from companies under their jurisdiction? I guess I don't see the US as being an outlier. If you are storing data in another country, it's subject to that country's legal process.

The problem is that the only solution is that every single government brings their whole IT stacks in land, which naturally does not scale.

India is big enough to do that easily.

Other countries with sane laws can also group together to scale.

Think banking secrecy, but for cloud data.

The full stack from the hardware layer, FABs, all the way up to business applications?

Yes, it is possible, easily is not a word I would use though.

For US companies, I guess they can't legally scale.

What makes you think it doesn't scale?

Each country needs to have hardware, programming languages, OS development, business applications done 100% in-house, because back doors can exist at any level.

Then all businesses are forbidden to use foreign software due to possible back doors.
