That seems naive or not responsive to the comment. If the US government tells Google to shut down all international sites/servers, or it will cease to exist in the US, I don’t think “but the servers aren’t in the US” will really matter.

I also don’t think anyone can count on extra-judicial demands from the current executive branch.

Am I wrong or misunderstanding something?




Then the government of said country will just force the local company to separate from its us parent company. Don’t forget these regions/servers are usually owned by local subsidiaries.

I feel like people like to fear monger, but cloud businesses won't bend to US requests for anything that resides outside of the US.
