Hello,
RIPE NCC (Felipe) responded to my concerns, and the last sentence of that mail was:
"It is difficult to run our operations if we have to speculate on what governments can and cannot do. Instead, we apply a risk-based approach, paying close attention to the contracts we sign with these providers and ensuring that the obligations described in them give the highest possible level of privacy and security for our members."
Now, a lot has happened in the world since November, and without going into every detail, i think it is safe to conclude that the US and its big tech companies can no longer be seen as reliable partners when it comes to storing our personal data.
Thanks for bringing that up. Please note that the NL parliament asked SIDN to move any (bigtech) cloud systems back to NL, and so should RIPE. -- MfG/Best regards, Kurt Jaeger Now what ? Dr.-Ing.
