Their goal was to calm growing fears around US surveillance, fueled by legal uncertainty, the Trump presidency, and widespread concern about European autonomy in the digital realm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Microsoft launched its&nbsp;&#8220;European Cloud Principles&#8221;, later renamed&nbsp;&#8220;European Digital Sovereignty Commitments&#8221;, promising to build trust through local control, transparency, and data residency. Amazon, Google, and Salesforce followed suit with their own \u201csovereign\u201d branding \u2014 each assuring European governments and businesses that their clouds were safe, shielded, and separate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the past weeks, the &#8220;sovereign cloud&#8221; narrative has collapsed, exposing the &#8220;sovereign washing&#8221; attempts by Big Tech. And this time, it\u2019s not critics or watchdogs exposing the contradictions, but the tech firms themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Big Tech: \u201cI can\u2019t guarantee your data won\u2019t be handed over\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In early June, Anton Carniaux, General Manager of Microsoft France, testified under oath before the French Senate (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.senat.fr\/compte-rendu-commissions\/20250609\/ce_commande_publique.html#toc2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">transcript<\/a>&nbsp;(FR),&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FWphOeykftM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">video<\/a>&nbsp;(FR),&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.itmagazine.ch\/artikel\/85137\/Unter_Eid_Microsoft_kann_Schutz_vor_Cloud_Act_nicht_garantieren.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">media coverage<\/a>&nbsp;(DE)) that he&nbsp;cannot guarantee&nbsp;that data belonging to French citizens, even when hosted by Microsoft under a government procurement agreement (UGAP), wouldn\u2019t be handed over to foreign authorities without the French government\u2019s consent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This directly contradicts Microsoft\u2019s &#8220;European Digital Sovereignty&#8221;&nbsp;campaign and calls into question the credibility of its public messaging. Critics already pointed out these &#8220;sovereign washing&#8221; attempts were meaningless, and clearly, under oath, Microsoft admits as much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cloudcomputing-insider.de\/us-provider-wuerden-kundendaten-aushaendigen-a-364c44646df82831e3e471606bf122df\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">report by&nbsp;CloudComputing-Insider<\/a>&nbsp;(DE)&nbsp;quotes representatives from multiple US hyperscalers, including AWS, Microsoft, Google, and Salesforce, saying they&nbsp;would hand over European customer data&nbsp;to US authorities if required by a court order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kevin Miller, AWS\u2019s VP of Global Data Centres, was&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cloudcomputing-insider.de\/ist-der-datenraum-von-aws-wirklich-souveraen-a-d44bde1ee9d26a9a59d0d5e3b2a6f9b7\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">particularly clear<\/a>&nbsp;(DE): he said he could not guarantee that data from a German SME wouldn\u2019t be disclosed to US authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Big Tech&#8217;s sovereign washing: the gap between marketing and reality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These recent disclosures expose a troubling pattern:\u00a0as <a href=\"https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/blog\/enforce-the-law-why-we-need-the-dma-to-be-applied-without-fear-or-delay\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">public concern in Europe<\/a> has grown, so have the promises from US cloud providers. But those promises were never backed by real guarantees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea that a US company could operate a cloud service in Europe, for European customers, and somehow remain immune to US surveillance law was always shaky. The recent flurry of \u201csovereign cloud\u201d launches was a high-stakes PR response to political pressure, not a technical or legal fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, in a matter of days, that PR effort has unraveled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s said in courtrooms matters more than what\u2019s said on stage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not just about policy or legal nuance. It\u2019s about trust. US tech giants are happy to promise digital sovereignty in glossy whitepapers, marketing videos, and conference keynotes. But when questioned under oath, or asked directly about real legal obligations, they admit the truth: they can\u2019t protect your data from the US government, not even if it\u2019s stored in Europe, or if they say it\u2019s \u201csovereign.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a customer of these companies, such as a government agency, a regulated industry, or a private business, the implications are clear. Do not fall for their &#8220;sovereign washing&#8221; attempts: what Big Tech says in a courtroom tells you far more than what they say in a press release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And what they\u2019ve just said is this:&nbsp;you can\u2019t count on their promises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In early 2025, BigTech hyperscalers in the US began to push new \u201csovereign cloud\u201d offerings in a big PR campaign in Europe.
