Microsoft’s lawyer in France confirms that their datacenters in Europe can be accessed by US government

Use This List To Find European Server Hosting Alternatives
The point is that if an American company has servers in EU, they have to give access to the US government even when the physical hosting is in Europe
Yes, and that’s a list of European owned hosting companies, not servers in Europe
France also has black boxes. Don't pick France or the UK. Netherlands, Sweden, Romania and Switzerland (I know) are good European choices. Also Germany but they're already the other half of reddit let's not put all our data centers in Berlin.
