"Don't worry, we encrypt all the data"
"I've heard as part of the prism program NSA has the encryption key?"
"I don't know the answer to that"I wouldn't dare believe that anything in AWS or Azure or Google Cloud is out of reach for the US agencies unless the end-user has encrypted it with a key that the cloud provider doesn't have access to.
-
Some services in Azure, like storage accounts let you encrypt data with your own key in addition to MS's. But there's always some level of implicit trust with cloud based services, so y'know
-
Yes, but the encryption keys are stored in an azure key vault, so Microsoft still has the keys.
There's no difference whether you use customer managed keys or not, Microsoft always has the keys but customer managed keys are more hassle to give an illusion of security.
Yes there's other reasons to use them, but not to protect against Microsoft/us gov spying

That's why my data lives on redundant disks in the basement and my remote backup lives in a closet at my parents house. :)

Honestly that is the right answer.
Why would a media manager at MS know about what data is handed off to the NSA?

Uhm yeah this has been true since 2018.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLOUD_Act Every European company that since then uses American infrastructure is complicit in GDPR-Violations!
-
This might actually be a big one. If its on record like this it can be used to sue governments into not using their products because its against GDPR.
I wish this had english subtitles.
-
On record? It's fricking law: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLOUD_Act and not just since yesterday.
-
Yes, but there could be ways for Microsoft to avoid this. If they actually end to end encrypted the data then they could only give the authorities worthless data. So in this case its not just a law that may or may not be enacted by companies, its an example of it actually being practically possible or even in use.

You can enable the auto-translate to any language you want. Enable the Closed Captions (CC) and then click on the cogwheel, Subtitles CC, Auto-Translate, and pick whichever language you want. I tried English and it is a very accurate translation.
EDIT: I would suggest though, that you try to find the original video, because this one, has a lot of editing cuts, which can be simply to create a short version, but it can also be used, for manipulating information. The video appears to be from the official French Senate, so I'm guessing it is accurate, when it comes to information.

You kids who are too young to remember the cloud hype train - it was AI all over again, but for cloud.
The same common-sense basic reasoning applied which was: "Wait - so someone else has your data?"
Aaaannnd everyone moved there and here we are now.
-
Third party data centers have been around for a lot longer than the cloud.

Shocked pikachu face

Hahaha…wait, you are serious?
GDPR is a joke at this point. There‘s no fixing that, only Europe completely cutting ties with US would be sufficient. And that‘s something our corrupt loser politicians will never willingly do.

Anyone else see the irony of a YouTube video being posted here?

Every Chinese is obligated to spy on behalf of CCP, that's a law 🤡
