It is now illegal to transmit personal information of EU citizens to cloud infrastructure in the #US as they won't be protected by the #GDPR.
Many European service providers will have to move quickly to avoid fines, but eventually #EU data will be held in the EU, benefiting companies in Europe, and supporting #DigitalSovereignty.
That means AWS, Azure, Google and iCloud can lose a sizeable chunk of their customer base if no moves are made. I am all for it.

@waeiski Australia should adopt the EU privacy laws. We could be an outpost for the whole South Pacific.
@Old_IT_geek @waeiski Australia should just join the EU, like Canada.
@martinvermeer @Old_IT_geek @waeiski when did Canada join the EU?
@zatnosk @Old_IT_geek @waeiski Not yet, sadly, but it is A Thing
@Old_IT_geek @waeiski New Zealand has "adequacy" for GDPR. I'm happy to talk with people who need cloud computing in the southern hemisphere who also need GDPR (or not even!).
@Old_IT_geek We do refer to them as the West Island...
@puck I welcome our Māori overlords
