EU Considers Limiting U.S. Cloud Platforms for Sensitive Data
The European Union is contemplating new regulations that would restrict the use of U.S. cloud platforms for processing sensitive government data. This initiative is part of the EU's 'Tech Sovereignty Package,' which aims to enhance the bloc's strategic autonomy in digital areas. The European Commission is expected to present this package on May 27. The proposed rules would limit the exposure of sensitive public-sector data to non-EU cloud providers, reflecting growing concerns about dependency on U.S. tech companies. The discussions are ongoing, and the final proposals are yet to be determined.
