Imho, the "FUD" is largely right and most cloud platforms are indeed illegal.

However, due to enforcement being absent or taking ages, there are too few legal decisions and big expensive enforcement actions that one can point to. Currently everything is really still fear, uncertainty and doubt, the hammer hasn't come down yet. I'm not sure if it ever will, at least not before EU institutions or other member states such as France force Germany to stop dragging its feet.

It's a bit tedious to work in that climate of uncertainty. Every time we want to use some AWS service it prompts endless discussions.

On the other hand it made us research and use European alternatives such as Hetzner (they have a cloud too, although with less SaaS offerings), OVH or Scaleway.

And meanwhile German company Continental has just 40 TB of data from their own systems.
