Merz says Google Cloud sovereign enough for intelligence agencies

Original: Merz: Google Cloud is sovereign enough for intelligence agencies

At the Digital Summit in Berlin, Chancellor Friedrich Merz declared that Google Cloud meets the sovereignty requirements of German intelligence agencies, effectively giving US cloud services a clean bill of health. His remarks accompanied praise for AI's potential. The stance is drawing attention amid ongoing European debate over digital dependence on American providers and calls for sovereign EU cloud infrastructure.

Why now: Merz's endorsement of a US cloud for intelligence work clashes with European digital-sovereignty concerns, sparking debate.
