European municipalities leak citizen data to US companies
It all started with mxmap.ch, then someone created mxmap.nl and someone else — mxmap.be. The results are similar. European municipalities use US cloud services, leaking citizen data to Microsoft, Google and Amazon.
I've seen Schrems II cited in similar situations, but municipal contracts often predate the latest regulations and are slow to change. Has anyone seen a municipality actually move away from US cloud providers because of these concerns?
Delighted to see more awareness on this - I hadn't seen the mxmap sites before. I believe it will be hand waved away by those with the power to change it, excusing the data as being stored in the EU, or just believing the various 'safe harbour' rules that exist now.
Fill in a formal complaint and watch the slow but inevitable unfold.
