Merz: Google Cloud sovereign enough for intelligence agencies

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

At the Digital Summit in Berlin, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Google Cloud meets sovereignty requirements even for intelligence agencies, effectively endorsing US cloud services for sensitive government work. The comments came as he promoted AI's potential for Germany. Critics argue the statement hands American providers a blank check and undermines European efforts toward digital sovereignty.

Why now: The chancellor's endorsement of a US cloud for intelligence work challenges Europe's digital sovereignty agenda.
