EU considers restricting U.S. cloud platforms for sensitive government data

The EU is considering restricting its governments from using U.S. cloud platforms for sensitive data processing. This potential move is part of a broader "Tech Sovereignty Package" aimed at increasing Europe's digital autonomy, with discussions focusing on sensitive financial, judicial, and health data. The proposals, expected May 27, would not ban foreign cloud providers entirely but limit their use for specific public sector data, reflecting growing concerns over U.S. data access laws.
