Original Description
#eurooffice #euro #office
He opened his laptop and found that Microsoft had shut down his email account because, the president of the United States signed a sanctions order, and Microsoft as an American Company, simply had to comply. In May 2025, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court —
the man responsible for investigating war crimes faced this scenario.
Not because he broke any rules.
Not because of a security breach.
If the United States can cut off the chief prosecutor of an international court
from his own email — what can it do to European governments and Leaders?
What can it do to the 40 million civil servants across the EU
who use Microsoft 365 every single day?
So, today even if Microsoft creates a new platform and guarantee European Data Sovereignty the fundamental problem
that a European flag on a data center does not solve:
the US CLOUD Act does not go away.
A US court order still reaches into the server rooms.
Every European procurement officer now knows that.
That is the question Europe is now asking out loud.
And on June 9th, it starts answering it.
