Will having servers physically located in Germany really satisfy the privacy concern of German clients given that Amazon is still an American company subject to american laws?
- TheHippo 12y agoMost likely: no But better latency is something nice to have.

- freshflowers 12y agoAmazon operating in Germany is subject to German laws. Legally, all asses are covered, and for 90% that's all that matters, regulatory compliance. Germany, unlike Ireland, comes with the added bonus that if privacy protection is violated, shit will hit the fan. But that's all it is, a bonus. Most assume the NSA can get to the data wherever it is, and those very few genuinely worried about that look for protection in encryption rather than legal jurisdiction.
