    They try to frame it as “legal requirement” while US doesn’t have any legal right or even an ability to verify this.

    All of this is just pandering and corruption.

      I believe that the article is talking about the US-based SAP company. Not the German based one. I think the German SAP will still honor german law.

        Yes but even within US the company is not required to obey this executive order in any capacity. From what I understand it’s completely meaningless and can be safely ignored by anyone but the federal government.
