US has lots of info on EU people which is why the EU wants the data for EU people in EU. EU believes that if they tell US companies to move the data over that it will be done eventually. No one trusts China which means EU like solutions won’t work.
This situation could have been averted by taking India’s approach. Just ban the app. It sounds like what was going to happen until Microsoft stepped in.
In the U.S. when hiring for a position you have to consider Americans first before hiring an H-1B foreign employee. The H-1Bs are at the mercy of their employers because if they quit they have to leave the country. They are perfect employees. What companies do is advertise for a position in which there is no qualified American candidate as this will allow them to bring in someone else. No American can qualify for 12 years of Kubernetes experience so the U.S. company brings in an H-1B employee. If any American were to come in to interview for the position companies can always fall back on “cultural fit” to eliminate them. Who could possibly be a “cultural fit” at their company if they lie about their qualifications.
