Especially annoying for users of services such as Search Tempest... Although it would be altogether much better if Craigslist had an API...

But I don't agree that PSN is Cloud- it's online. That's the whole point.
Where the name from vs what it is, are two completely different. The internet per se isn't cloud, and the cloud isn't the internet. It's a marketing term.
Plus we have to be super careful about what parts of the stack we're talking about. To be properly "cloud" is err what? It depends what part of the stack we're talking about. You seem to be talking about IaaS whereas most of the revenue and adoption is SaaS....
To be honest though, we have a very strong heritage of protecting peoples data in the EU and have strong regulatory and legal controls around it too. We wouldn't let a government agency take data without the proper permission, as would be the case on site. I don't see any difference.

My experience is Cloud Security is better than local in 99% of cases. And when it's been compromised it's been users / social engineering rather than the cloud service- think HBGary.
Jurisdiction might not be that uniform in Europe, but there the datacentres tend to be it's pretty good (UK, Ireland, Germany, Holland, etc).

I'm really interested to know who the big government companies are because I've been on the inside of a few deals that have gone nowhere because of data location...
