A lot of services that are supposedly running in EU are currently having significant issues due to AWS US-EAST-1 being impacted. But surely this is just some dependencies that are down and all our data is really stored in EU. Right?

「 The DPC is in charge of enforcing the EU’s privacy rulebook, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), for all firms established in the country – which includes many tech giants, Meta, Google, Apple, and Microsoft among them. This gives it an outsized role in EU oversight of big tech 」
