^^^@chris2be8 and @all

That is why any sensitive data should *always* be encrypted before being stored on any system you do not *fully* control. And *really* sensitive data should not even leave your systems, even encrypted, without a *good* reason.

*Fully*
*Always*
*Really*
*Good*

it is important to understand that with just the last few years of ai/llm/etc related _world_wide_web_ scraping, along with all the additional _internet_traffic_harvesting_and_storage_

it is already all in the _wrong_ hands...

Hello:

From today's edition of The Register:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Microsoft admits it 'cannot guarantee' data sovereignty
Under oath in French Senate, exec says it would be compelled – however unlikely – to pass local customer info to US admin.

Paul Kunert wrote:

As proceedings continued, Carniaux was asked if in the event of an injunction that was legally justified, could he, as Microsoft director of public and legal affairs, "guarantee our committee, under oath" that data on French citizens could not be transmitted to the American government without the explicit agreement of the French government.
"No," said Carniaux, "I cannot guarantee that, but, again, it has never happened before."
The Register asked Microsoft to comment on this but it declined to do so.

So ...
What else is new?

Best,
