FWIW I live in Europe now and am enjoying it XD, but I still call a spade a spade. I just hope Germany pulls its head of its ass before it supports China's ascension to global supremacy. We told them not to overly rely on Russian gas for like 40 years but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Those US companies are free to not be on the EU market, just saying
This sword cuts both ways. US can also stop sales of Airbuses, Volkswagens, IKEA furniture etc. under some fishy premise. If EU does that to US companies, why shouldn’t US do it to EU ones? This kind of tit for tat trade war would be a loss to everyone compared to cooperation, but is still preferred to cooperating with a defector.

isn't the crux of the matter the all-reaching laws of the US that allows their intelligence agencies to order EU-subsidiaries of US companies to offer up their data..?
I would be frankly shocked if EU countries did not have the same laws on the book. If German court serves Volkswagen AG a warrant for data kept by Volkswagen America, can Volkswagen AG just not comply?
Isn’t this sort of what we accuse the Chinese of doing? The US designs the technology and then the Chinese manufacturers steal that design to make their own? Except now, the EU is more or less forcing American companies to sell unaffiliated spin-offs to the EU to continue doing business there. Seems a bit underhanded to change the rules now after so long, especially considering the fact that the EU can’t make these c…
Looking for an informed opinion; what are the practical consequences for European companies using American cloud providers (which I guess is most of them) ?

But as soon as competitors start moving to european hosting solutions, you need to too - because if you're slow to move over you can bet the courts will be chasing after people with fines.

Restricting the sale or transfer of personal data to a foreign-held company that can and will obey foreign laws with regards to that data is, I think, perfectly fair.
The dances companies go through to appear local or non-local with shell companies is an abuse of the intent of many laws.
Microsoft/Google/Amazon/etc. probably can figure out how to operate in Europe to comply with the intent of the law, but it might require a rather large actual separation of interests rather than a shallow apparent one.

America engages at global level surveillance. American corporations can be coerced with a single national security level to spy on their customers. Ergo they are untrustworthy and should not be used.

Comparable move could be for US to forbid using EU hosted services to ie. store medical records of US citizens etc., no?
