Afaik the US Government is a big Amazon customer.

I would imagine that particular customer would rather Amazon not quietly honor, say, a Russian subpoena for their data.

The problem for an Amazon hosted server is US subpoenas, not Russian or European or whatever...

Amazon has AWS regions in six continents.
