france digital policy

France digital policy is a recurring topic on WindowsForum, particularly regarding cloud sovereignty and the use of American technology providers. Recent discussions focus on France's decision to move the Health Data Hub from Microsoft Azure to Scaleway, a French cloud provider. This shift reflects growing European concerns about extraterritorial U.S. legal reach over sensitive data. The move is seen as a symbolic reversal in a politically charged cloud contract and highlights the broader trust battle between European public sectors and major U.S. tech companies. Threads explore the implications for Microsoft, data security, and the future of digital sovereignty in France and the EU.
