storing any amount of a nations data or services in a foreign country was safe. No

One of my jobs brushes up against gov stuff. Private-possum, not secret-squirrel info. They're completely explaining it away like "yeah, we see how it feels ooky, but we had someone say it's all good, so we're putting all your PII into Azure" and that's almost the statement. It's like painting a stick of dynamite green and giving it to kids to play with.

We need to ask the data sovereignty question a LOT when suits are in front of microphones.
