Microsoft: data transfer to the EU in the fear of intercepts?

Η Microsoft ετοιμάζεται να αλλάξει στις υποδομές αποθήκευσης των δεδομένων της, προσπαθώντας να αποφύγει την παρακολούθηση της κυβέρνησης των Ηνωμένων Πολιτειών. microsoft data center

So the company is reportedly considering transferring its data centers to Germany to prevent US intelligence services from spying on its customers.

An advocate of the devil would add, "because he wants to have exclusivity."

Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella announced at a press conference in Berlin that Microsoft could operate new data centers in the country with the help of Deutsche Telekom, which basically means that a German company will be responsible for the information stored on the country's servers.

So any research that requires access to user accounts will be subject to local laws.

Microsoft is trying to prove it's one of the companies fighting against US government surveillance by preparing to send its customers' data overseas. The upside in this case is that if the US intelligence agencies are looking for information on a Microsoft customer whose o If they are stored on a server located in Germany, Redmond can refuse, arguing that the search warrant from the United States is not valid in Europe.

On the other hand, Satya Nadella's statement coincides with accusations from millions of users who report that the company is collecting unhindered data from users of its new operating system .

Of course, these accusations insult the image of the company that with various statements tries to prove that it collects only what it needs, and only for the "good" of its customers.

Nadella's statement attempts to crack down on the company's image, but causes headaches in cloud services based in the United States.
So it is very likely that the statement remains a statement, because in addition to all the above, the transfer of data to Microsoft servers in Germany will not be free. Customers will have to pay for it, as reported by FT, citing Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella.

On the other hand, the United States will not be pleased with Microsoft's decision to move its data to Germany, so we expect quite tough reactions in the coming months.
