> AWS is fully compliant with all applicable EU Data Protection laws

As long as the NSA can request data from US companies in foreign countries this is not at all compliant with EU Data protection laws at all. Under the current situation ANY US company providing services is not compliant and German companies with sensitive data would be stupid to put this data on US owned servers - wherever they are.

Yep, and exactly that is why I completely moved away from US companies for my hosting. Will I be a target for 'surveillance'? Probably not. Do I want to do everything I can to make the US fuck off from my data? Hell yes.

That's true, EU Data protection law protects Data Centers IN the European Union. Germany signed this as well. http://www.kimeralive.com/privacy
