You have been warned yet again, the US cannot be trusted...

Microsoft, under oath, admits the possibility that EU‑hosted data can be accessed by US agencies without any notifications

In sworn French‑Senate testimony, Microsoft’s legal chief for France(M. Anton Carniaux) conceded he cannot guarantee that data on French citizens stored wholly in EU Microsoft datacenters is safe from U.S. silent access and acknowledged that French or any EU authorities might not even be notified if access occurs.

Delivered under oath, this statement is an official legal recognition of the silent‑access risk inherent in relying on Microsoft’s infrastructure.

I agree, in this current climate of mis / disinformation, we need to make statements that are backed up with credible cited sources, so yeah a court document or something.

We can then share far and wide.

I think this finding will also help the @Endof10 campaign

So after the bullshit until minute 16, they start the real answer, but the most interesting is minute 19:30, where Microsoft answers they will resist, but if there is a legitimate request (and there is no explanation what is a legitimate request or not) they will transmit data to the US government. They ensure it never happened yet lol.
