    I’d say that the best solution would be to switch from “sovereign” clouds to EU-based clouds. It will not just save EU countries from US spying on them. This supoprts the fact that there was recently an article, where M$ acknowledged they cannot guarantee they won’t give out the data even from “sovereign” clouds to US government. So, it is kind of obvious step :)

        The issue with “sovereign” clouds is that because they are managed by US company, US govt can make company to give data from that servers. If company is European, the space for enforcing is much smaller.
