Why can EU companies not use US-based cloud infrastructure and SaaS products?

Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act allows the US government to force US companies to share foreign customer data without a warrant or disclosure.

There is no way to reconcile US govt surveillance with the EU’s Charter of Fundamental Rights on privacy.

The US Congress wants its govt to be able to force companies to surrender foreign customer data. So it reauthorized 702.

The US Congress does not want other govts to be able to force companies in their countries to surrender US American customer data. So it might force TikTok to be owned by a US corp. https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/20/24135163/tiktok-ban-divest-bytedance-house-foreign-aid-package

The EU fought US govt spying by strengthening privacy rights. The US should fight Chinese govt spying similarly if it actually cares about human rights.
