Die Schufa verlagert Bonitätsdaten von 69 Millionen Menschen in Deutschland auf AWS-Server und spricht dabei von »Datenschutz, Sicherheit und digitaler Souveränität«. Das ist blanker Hohn. Der US-Cloud-Act kann Amazon zur Herausgabe von Daten verpflichten, auch wenn die Server in Europa stehen. Wer hochsensible Finanzdaten einem US-Konzern überlässt, handelt nicht souverän, sondern bequem. Und das Beste: Man kann seine Daten bei der Schufa nicht einmal einfach löschen lassen, sondern höchstens falsche, veraltete oder unzulässig gespeicherte Einträge korrigieren oder entfernen lassen. WTF?! #Schufa #CloudAct #Datenschutz #AWS https://www.telepolis.de/article/Schufa-Daten-bei-Amazon-Was-passiert-mit-unseren-Infos-11320594.html

English – The Conversation | After you upload your data to the cloud, where does it go? The challenge of dual-use technologies by Bryn Williams-Jones, Professor of Bioethics and Director of the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine, École de santé publique, Université de Montréal AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Most Canadians rely daily on cloud‑based services—email, collaboration tools, banking, streaming and smart‑home apps—many of which are developed, hosted or routed outside the country, exposing our data to foreign governance frameworks and commercial interests. The article explains how this raises pressing questions of who controls the infrastructure, who can access the data, and how it may be used, linking these concerns to the broader challenge of “dual‑use” technologies that are created for beneficial purposes but can be repurposed for harmful or politically sensitive ends. It cites the U.S. CLOUD Act, which obliges American companies to surrender data abroad, and notes similar moves by France to shift public services to domestic platforms, illustrating how dependence on foreign providers can become a national vulnerability. In Canada, pervasive reliance on Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, Google and other U.S. firms creates tension between convenience and sovereignty, while responsibility for managing dual‑use risks is fragmented across researchers, institutions and governments. The piece argues that awareness—asking where data is stored, who can access it, and what protections exist—is the first step toward coordinated policies that balance innovation, security and public accountability, ensuring that the control and use of data align with collective Canadian interests.

"[...] presidente do SERPRO, agora um desafio: me mostre um papel, pode ter um parágrafo dizendo assim: 'Eu, representante da Amazon no Brasil ou da Microsoft ou da Oracle, nestas máquinas, nesses sistemas, não seguimos o Cloud Act' e assina". (Sérgio Amadeu, aos 20:05 do vídeo) --- "A Lei CLOUD altera principalmente a Lei de Comunicações Armazenadas (SCA) de 1986 para permitir que as autoridades federais obriguem empresas de tecnologia sediadas nos Estados Unidos, por meio de mandado ou intimação, a fornecer os dados solicitados armazenados em servidores, independentemente de esses dados estarem armazenados nos Estados Unidos ou em território estrangeiro".
