@thegreenpagesBC@mstdn.ca YES! "when the French Senate asked a senior Microsoft France official if he could guarantee that data from French citizens would not be transmitted to the United States without the authorization of French authorities, he said Microsoft could not guarantee data sovereignty to customers in France. There is no reason why his response would not also apply to Canada. In fact, it’s probably more likely since French privacy laws are stronger than Canada’s." #cdnpoli https://thetyee.ca/Analysis/2026/01/29/Big-Tech-Spearheads-US-Threat-Canada/#:~:text=sovereignty-washers
