Google, Amazon or Microsoft No Longer Allowed to Store Your Data: Europe Imposes New Ban
The European Union has made a major decision to prohibit companies Google, Amazon, and Microsoft from storing the most important data about our health and money. State institutions will soon have to stop using these American services for storing sensitive information. The goal is to keep all personal data of the people exclusively within Europe's borders for greater security.
TL;DR
- EU prohibits Google, Amazon, and Microsoft from storing sensitive health and financial data for state institutions.

- The objective is to retain all personal data within Europe for enhanced security.
- A new law will compel hospitals, courts, and banks to use domestic European systems.
- This initiative aims to boost local European tech firms and ensure data privacy.
- The ban currently applies only to state services; private companies have more flexibility.
- The EU plans further legislation to achieve technological independence from other nations.
