It's not just the CLOUD Act.

Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google are giving us reassuring messages about using their services. "The risks aren't all that high", "Donald Trump isn't reading your email", and all of them have created European legal entities that allege to be "sovereign".

But over the years America has given itself a variety of tools that allow the administration to control US companies trading overseas, to seize data or metadata, to influence or stop financial transactions or make it impossible for those companies to serve certain customers, wherever they are located on the planet.

As America gradually moves away from international agreements and indeed from being a law and rules based society we cannot, should not close our eyes for the risks we incur.
