That doesn't sound right. https://docs.hetzner.com/general/company-and-policy/data-pro...

If you spin up your servers in EU locations they are under German ownership and EU regulation. Others, such as those in the US, are owned by a subsidiary and those are subject separately on the Cloud Act. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Do you really think German intelligence authorities don’t do what the US asks them to do?

  • That is not the CLOUD act, that is shifting the goalpost to some sort of defeatist helplessness.

  • At the rate things are going, yeah there will be a point where intelligence services aren't going to be happily cooperating across the Atlantic, that is unless there is a clear mutual benefit in doing so.
