A comment on Google Chromebook outlawed in Danish public schools.

A tricky question. Many schools in other EU countries are using Google Office Suite and Google Classroom. Is that also the same issue? My kids reports are published via Google Docs.

How about Microsoft's Office 365? Do they have data centers in EU? Or is that the same issue? Because then we also have fully Microsoft based school including extended Teams usage.

Basically how do you want to have any cloud based app running in EU when most of the providers don't have data centers here in EU?

All big providers have EU regions, and there are EU-native providers, but the problem is that even from an EU datacenter Microsoft/Google/Amazon can be forced to share data with the US government.
