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 what we need is a big company making the switch and making blogposts on how they did it. Share the knowledge with the world since a lot of younger tech people never worked without Azure, AWS or Google Cloud (like me, having worked 10 years in tech, but never self hosting things).
This will show other companies the switch is possible.
