Like the EU&#39;s lawyers: &#39;the Act removed any doubts as to the extraterritorial effect of the probable cause warrants issued under the SCA, by making explicit the obligation of the U.S. service providers to preserve and produce data they control regardless of where it is stored.&#39; <a href="https://www.eurojust.europa.eu/sites/default/files/assets/the-cloud-act.pdf">https://www.eurojust.europa.eu/sites/default/files/assets/the-cloud-act.pdf</a><br/><br/>Yes, if the data is encrypted and the keys aren&#39;t available to the hosting provider, then the US government gets encrypted data. 2026-04-09T21:30:50+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs2vszv8afejqglxfy497t7acvzgvfrt9exy3m2ntag6c5xu9n0cwszyr0mylvh9vtqgg5vpsu8unllaxhxy5vvkp4rq73kz6cjgd3qu6qyv28a2k3 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsz79eh45arn76dhqx6fp3rpnwqdldztfv44ywkx8nlnl5whwthnlgwt2kfg'>nevent1q…2kfg</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>It doesn&#39;t make a difference as long as the data is hosted by a US company. The CLOUD Act gives the US government access to any such data regardless of where it&#39;s physically hosted. This is why AWS just spent a lot of money on an &#39;EU Sovereign Cloud&#39; that&#39;s supposedly air-gapped against US control, but this hasn&#39;t been tested and there are good reasons to think it won&#39;t stand up if push comes to shove because it&#39;s still owned by Amazon. 2026-04-09T20:53:14+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqst64wnnqputagsmw3gdnmjcy65tlllvxut0pf2df0yxx3mflcgreszyr0mylvh9vtqgg5vpsu8unllaxhxy5vvkp4rq73kz6cjgd3qu6qyv8m6wph In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxcseh6l9uyvhaxxl22sut29atexhpqxd4c48uaaszugnfexzas9qfd8ws9'>nevent1q…8ws9</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I suspect that <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub19ua0a9gu7ggm693nqm6knq3zutckcfde9p6ra7a8fu73xhvy3sgqz253cv" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Tim Bray 🇨🇦</span> (<span class="italic">npub19ua…53cv</span>)</a></span> understands CLOUD Act jurisdiction and that this helped motivate his desire to make a change in the first place. 2026-04-09T06:42:49+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqszur8vpmzjaem5t74fh8kztcaa0nd5y3m84grkjkhsxz09p999aaczyr0mylvh9vtqgg5vpsu8unllaxhxy5vvkp4rq73kz6cjgd3qu6qyvg8psue In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsd7erclerfgndqyvgmlrdvac68pe3y654lhs5dmgfw7gg00c6qw6q9amg3d'>nevent1q…mg3d</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yes, 1Password is Canadian and Bitwarden is American! 2026-04-08T23:01:27+02:00
