      Maybe don't guess and read the article? European data sovereignty and CLOUD act.

         But "European data sovereignty" is regulatory capture, although it sort of reads like they had a US parent company to attend y combinator and raise money, but are now moving fully to Berlin, which is what they intended from the start.

            Isn't regulatory capture when a company shapes regulation to achieve business interests? How is this the case here?

               Excluding foreign competitors is a classic ‘regulatory capture’-style approach. Regulatory capture is (typically) a ‘bootleggers and baptists’ scenario where there are both good and bad reasons to enact the rules.
