⚠️🚨⚠️ ATTENTION CANADIANS Microsoft says U.S. law takes precedence over Canadian data sovereignty In this article: Why is this a concern? Does this affect the federal government and military? Can Canada and others say no? #Canada #Security #Privacy #Canpoli www.digitaljournal.com/tech-science...
Fine Microsoft for every incident. A few billion will convince them to come up with a solution. @mark-carney.bsky.social
They won't pay up, Trump will protect their company.
Microsoft free since 2006. Got tired of bashing my head against a wall.
yaaaay.🥳 I will be at the end of the month, originally decided this for the same reason as you.

Very interesting! I was in IT before I retired and keeping data in Canada was VERY important to our company and the government. So much so, that Microsoft put cloud servers and processes in Canada to maintain data sovereignty. Apparently with a few strokes of the pen all that went away
A few strokes of the pen could also nationalize those resources to protect them…
From what I read in past articles Canada, including the military, has been sharing cloud services for quite a while now. Yes, we need our own services...including internet--unhook from the US because sharing cloud services and our internet traffic is a national security risk!
I've been thinking about this and see new posts on the subject. I wonder how many entities that get insurance know where their company keeps the data? There is a lot of sensitive data (personally identifiable) on those servers. In my view data sovereignty was as important as security.
I agree data sovereignty is very important. I think very few people think about or even care where companies store information. Heck, most people don't want to hear when I explain the privacy problems with Google, and how it's easy to switch browsers. 😖
And let’s not even get into data sexuritt of healthcare providers… i refuse to use their portals.
I never use online healthcare--too risky for privacy....and insurers buy medical data so to increase your premiums.
Rampant and oervasive issues by companies and governments that we sre unaware of despite it drastically affecting our lives. And no incentive to fix any of it.
People need to push for restrictions on corporations.
Just use America as the example. Rampant corporate influence is why we’re characters in this shitshow. Anybody against it after that is anti-Canada thru and thru.
"anyone against it is anti-Canada..." In that case, we need to deport most Canadian politicians starting with whoever thought up BillC-2!
Wow! The arrogance is...wow! Time to instal Linux, Canada!
yup. I'm installing Linux Mint on our devices in two weeks. I made the decision a couple months ago because I hate Microsoft, but this news motivated me to get it done sooner than planned.
