AFAIK they haven’t launched yet.

They have launched. But their firts data center will not be built until next year. They are running on CoLos currently.

Their website has basically nothing. Is it under a different brand, or just not generally available yet?

If I need to chose a datacenter in Europe, does anyone know which country has the most lenient speech laws for user-generated content? It doesn't need to be within the EU, just on the continent.

Surprised to not see Ubicloud in there, which provides cloud services on top of various (including European) infra providers. https://www.ubicloud.com/

They're under the CLOUD Act, i.e. quite toxic.

Basically everyone with even a CDN endpoint on the US is under Cloud Act. Hetzner, OVH, etc. Maybe only Scaleway that I couldn’t find any mentions of an US PoP.

Missing Datacrunch [1], Finland-based GPU cluster provider. Also, funnily enough, the european.cloud website seems to be experiencing a hug of death and barely loads at the moment, with frequent server-side failures. Gotta find a better cloud hosting, perhaps.

I get so (unreasonably?) annoyed with people saying "European" and meaning "EU"; they're not the same thing. Stop it!

You're missing all the providers based in the UK who frankly provide at least as many good options as the whole of the EU combined.

I think the "joke" is if the US government orders a company to hand over that data, the fact that the servers are physically in the EU won't stop anything

why it should happen?

Intelligence.

US Cloud act says they need to provide US govt with access to your data even if the DC is outside the US

Bunny.net is also missing. They're not just a CDN, they also provide S3 storage, magic containers (edge computing), and other services. I use them in combination with Hetzner and so far I'm very happy with them.
