I can not understand why there is not an enormous backlash from companies about this. All their employees have all the sensitive information on Microsoft servers. But watch out if you bring a USB stick to work...

The only good thing the ~~Trump admin~~ JD Vance has done: UK will back down over its demands on Apple for an encryption backdoor

Oh well, time to fine the shit out of them and roll out Linux across the continent.
Microsoft exec admits it 'cannot guarantee' data sovereignty
Then you don't get to touch my data (to the extent that I can control who already has my data without my permission...)
Very broken gears

They can They just don't want to.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
