Merz says Google Cloud sovereign enough for German intelligence

Original: »Merz: Google-Cloud ausreichend souverän für Nachrichtendienste« https://www. heise.de/news/Merz-Google-Clou d-ausreiche

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has stated that Google's cloud services offer sufficient digital sovereignty for use by German intelligence agencies. The remarks, reported by Heise, are drawing attention in German tech and policy circles, where reliance on US cloud providers for sensitive government work has long been a contentious issue.

Why now: Merz's stance contradicts ongoing German and EU efforts to reduce dependence on US hyperscalers for sensitive government data.
