Canadian Court: OVHcloud from France must hand over user data
The Ontario court has ordered OVHcloud to provide data stored in its cloud. This raises questions about digital sovereignty.
the Ontario Court of Justice, presided over by Judge Heather Perkins-McVey, ruled that the French parent company must hand over the data to the Canadian authorities. Her reasoning is based on a broad interpretation of "virtual presence": since OVH operates globally and offers services in Canada, the company is subject to Canadian jurisdiction, regardless of where the physical servers are located.
