> But both are US companies. And there is some trend in Europe on avoiding those due to GDPR, such as https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/dutch-schools-must-stop-u... or https://usefathom.com/blog/6monthsjail . I doubt it is going to grow fast or much (as the force that push to outsource are here to stay), but I also doubt Google will be able to fully comply with GDPR because a lot depend on the US government and their own business model.

My employer is a UK multinational (linkedin if you want to know who :-) and although we use Google Mail, I suspect it's physically and legally located in the EU or Britain.

Certainly, BigQuery has both European and US data silos AND THE TWO CAN'T TALK TO EACH OTHER. Causes me some grief as the company is migrating its legacy silos (US-based) to European silos, and as my job involves using both datasets, it's not pleasant ... :-)
