That doesn't matter _at all_ when the government comes knocking at Google's door - in the best case, they have a subpoena that can at least be appealed afterwards, in the worst case it's DOGE teens backed by a bunch of heavily armed guys in camouflage.

Indeed. No data is safe or secure in such environments.

This has become an issue big enough that the US company I work for is actually removing data from US cloud providers to make it harder to get at. The European divisions have started data sovereignty projects because it's now a principal risk.

I'm out of the cloud as well.

Ha. My company was advising having a burner phone when traveling to US in a company-wide meeting. There has been something of a shift.

Yeah similar. My company is US and have banned all travel to US. Said we can do stuff over Teams instead.
