I think its great that Europe is looking to rely less on US tech but nothing about whats going on with Europe (especially within the EU) makes me think privacy is a focus.

    Not even the GDPR?

    GDPR is nice and all, but people have been fighting chat control and all its hydra heads for years now, so no.

    But I'm an American so what do I know?

    You know much more about the world around you than the orange turd that claims to be the leader of the free world. Don't sell yourself short, mate! It'll take people like you to rebuild once this is over.

    Companies that have had their whole data on Google/MS servers for 20 years certainly don't care for privacy the way you and I do. But they are certainly realizing that US providers are not the way to go. Baby steps I guess.
