Microsoft runs out of capacity, routes requests outside the GDPR region
Oh dear, this is an absolute GDPR no-no:
Apparently #Microsoft is not able to get enough compute within EU datacenters to handle #Copilot requests.
Instead, it will do "Flex-Routing", which processes some requests in non-EU datacenters. This is Opt-Out. The only notification was an e-mail to Admins. If they missed that, companies might be leaking PII outside of the EU from tomorrow on.
Get your GDPR Nightmare letters ready!
