Do you know if Microsoft setup this EU shell after the whole thing with the FBI wanting emails stored in Ireland?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Corp._v._United_Stat... (2016) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLOUD_Act (2018).

If so, it might end up in court again, and we'll have to see how that precedent gets set out. Will be curious to see how this plays out.

I think it was set up beforehand. Also, I think nobody really wanted to go as far as setting any precedents, in case they ended up being precedents that they didn't want.
