    Incorrect. You would have no problem whatsoever if you had no company and just hosted in europe.

    Companies under the cloud act only have the ability to disagree if the country in question has an agreement with the us which currently only great britain has.

      As an individual it would be so much worse, what are you talking about? They’re not going to go “Oh you’re an individual hosting in the EU, guess there’s nothing we can do”

      That’s only applicable for the other way, e.g. Britain (as an example) requesting data from a US provider. There are 2 parts to the act, part 1 is for the SCA to be amended so that the US can compel US companies to turn over data stored overseas and part 2 authorizes the entering of these agreements with foreign governments so when those governments wants data from a US company for their citizens they can fast track it.

      The mechanism is always available if it’s the US wanting the data from a US company with overseas servers

      It’s all right there in my link
