Microsoft's Brad Smith says company respects European laws amid US criticism - Channel News Asia

Quick Summary:

BRUSSELS : Microsoft respects European laws including landmark legislation seeking to rein in the power of Big Tech, its President Brad Smith said on Wednesday, putting the company at odds with the White House, which has criticised sanctions related to EU rules.

"When combined with our recent construction, the plans we're announcing today will more than double our European datacenter capacity between 2023 and 2027," Smith said.

Smith also outlined plans to allay EU concerns about the dominance of U.S.tech giants in cloud computing that have prompted calls from some EU governments to restrict the companies' role in lucrative government tenders.
