whenever some company is like "dont worry europeans we have EU datacenters too so we keep your data in the EU" im like. how about you dont keep my data at all. i dont know why i should feel better about a company big enough to need a distinction between EU datacenters and non EU datacenters having EU datacenters
@codl this doesn't rly change the main point of what you're saying, but worth mentioning that "having datacenters" doesn't necessarily imply as much scale as it sounds, companies love sounding like they're a big deal when actually they just have like, a storage bucket and a handful of VMs in the EU region of cloud_provider_of_the_day. (Or iirc even digitalocean at least in the past has referred to "a cage at a colo" as a "datacenter")
