Sweden Can't Rely on Tech Giants

The use of American cloud services by Swedish authorities raises concerns about data security and the potential for US government access to sensitive information. The Cloud Act allows the US government to access data stored in the cloud, and Swedish authorities have been critical of the use of American cloud services. The Skatteverket has chosen to use American cloud services despite the concerns and the lack of European alternatives. This decision has been criticized by data protection officials and other Swedish authorities. The use of American cloud services is a risk that Sweden must take to minimize the risk of sensitive information being accessed by unauthorized parties.
