No, I don’t think this is incredibly likely to happen. But like how some disaster prep agencies model zombie outbreaks to get people thinking about hurricanes and earthquakes, it’s a good thought experiment.

Let’s say out of the blue there’s an executive order that prevents US tech companies from servicing Canadian customers.

How hosed are you? Would you have access to backups of family photos not on Apple or Google? Does your email still work? Can you access your password manager? If you have a domain registered, is it still pointable to your servers?

I ask this because I’m trying to train myself to look for Can/EU alternatives in my tech stack for work and personal life.

It doesn’t actually matter. The US can compel American companies to provide all data even if the data residency is outside of America.

And as we all know, Microsoft will definitely stand up to the us government and refuse to hand over customer data to their final regime.
