I thought gdpr forced companies to store data securely in the eu. Are they saying they'll transfer that data to the us to give Trump access, cause that's a gdpr violation and should result in fines and eventual removal from the eu market.
The CLOUD act and GDPR do indeed not work together.
The first sentence and the first paragraph of the article:
Hahaha should
There are provisions. I don't remember the exact name of it, but basically, the US says "yah, these business are legit ok, you see?" and the EU is like "oh, ok, deal". This includes the big providers and a handful of others, obviously.
And yes, it is a farce.
It's still on their servers. They just give government access to data.
