AWS denies ever having disclosed customer content stored outside the U.S. to the U.S. government in response to requests related to the CLOUD Act—at least for the past six years, “since we began tracking this data in 2020.”
That is no guarantee that it won’t happen eventually. Especially since Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon and now executive chairman of the board, is now considered a “fanboy” of President Donald Trump.

Original German quote:
AWS bestreitet, jemals außerhalb der USA gespeicherten Kundeninhalte gegenüber der US-Regierung offengelegt zu haben, wenn es Anfragen erhalten hat, die sich auf den CLOUD Act bezogen – zumindest für die vergangenen sechs Jahre, „seit wir 2020 mit der statistischen Erfassung begonnen haben“.
Das ist keine Gewähr dafür, dass es nicht doch noch dazu kommt. Zumal Jeff Bezos, Gründer von Amazon und heute geschäftsführender Vorsitzender des Verwaltungsrats, inzwischen als „Fanboy“ von Präsident Donald Trump gilt.

And here I thought Wero was about sovereignty and independence. Might as well use Visa or Mastercard for the transfer.

Wero has always been about discuraging the European central bank from persuing the digital Euro project earnestly. The banks are perfectly fine depending on Visa and Mastercard as they just pass through the fees.

Thank you for repeating it for the folks in the back.

Wero would still bring billions of euros in transaction fees back to Europe. Saying that you might as well use visa or mastercard (because you dont 100% get your ideal) is counter to why this whole community exists

Maybe not Mastercard or Visa but your local payment service for most stuff. The Netherlands has Tikkie, Switzerland has Twint, Spain has Bizum but yeah what you can pay with those can be quite limited

Why I am not surprised?

One reason for that is lack of IT competency outside any “mainstream” solutions. These people sit in a web GUI all day and have no underlying understanding of how AWS work.

Not sure. There are many people who know kubernetes, networks etc.
They could use ovh or scaleway anyway
