But then who can? No global cloud providers, including Hetzner and OVH, are free from CLOUD act because they have US presence[1].
From the FAQ page I linked:
> In accordance with our Privacy Policy, OVHcloud will comply with lawful requests from public authorities. Under the CLOUD Act, that could include data stored outside of the United States.

You can actually. Becton Dickson did it and shafted loads of their employees by saying they no longer have pensions with them.
Most of the time countries do, because they are all swapping data on their citizens between themselves to skirt various laws.
In the case where the US really wants something, and the country won't yield, they'll fund contras or destabilize the government (if small enough to be bullied) or impose sanctions so drastic it's effectively a soft act of war.
This is all to say that, the US has nearly unlimited authority while it stands as the world's defacto superpower.
Pretty funny you're jumping straight to warfare. This proves why Americans cannot be trusted.
In any case, it's better for me that the Americans will need to start a war with the EU to get at my data instead of just giving it to them.
Any nation with any amount of leverage has abused it.
It rarely makes economic sense to deploy workloads onto the public cloud unless you have critical uptime requirements or need massive elasticity.
