That would be incorrect. IANAL, but cloud act purpose is to allow the usa government to ask data from USA-based or USA-related services providers, for offsense/crimes. It does not …

Not theft indeed, but copy/use of data without consent. How are they worse: They are now at risk if there is a data leak in the USA. There are higher fines for data leaks in Europe…

no, it is not.

opt-in. Pay them for it. And have a culture of fixing stuff and spending enough before shit happens, so that on-call is rare and problems don't repeat too often

"ethics". Well at least they are creating more examples to analyze
