    So, to put it blundly, not only should the server be outside of the USA but also the company who runs it? Makes sense to me.

        For more information on the subject, Microsoft has been fighting this battle, largely unsuccessfully, for years.

        One negation too many! Edited, hope it makes more sense now.

          Ah, you mean for Canada data sovereignty.

          It still does not make sense. Canada could change the law. Other companies abide by local law.
