EU Chat Control Is Motivated by the American Cloud Act

  • The speaker is VÄ›ra Jourová, Vice President of the European Commission for Values and Transparency.

    Is the full stream available? First, the audience is laughing with her about something we don’t hear. Then she says, “under their Cloud Act they have the possibility to take the data from Europe, we need the same thing, we need the reciprocity.”

    This is said in a tone as if it’s obvious/uncontroversial.

    So indeed, the topic of the summit is relevant. What IS “data protection” protecting? We’re far from EU citizen privacy here if we’ve made it to the concept of taking data from the US.

  • Tweet: partially excused.

    Title: motivated.
