There are AWS and Azure regions in France.

GCP should open one early 2022.

But they don't count because they're still controlled from the USA.

AWS most certainly isn't for as far as the data protection is concerned. An EU entity runs the EU regions of AWS cloud, you enter a contract with that entity and _not_ with the parent and the data is under the EU law.

Is this really true? As far as I know you can be perfectly compliant with EU law by running in AWS's EU regions.

have you tried Linode?

Linode is also based in the US. Wouldn't it have the same can't-make-requests-to-the-US problems?
