Wait, so Saudi Arabia hasn't requested this data, Microsoft and Google haven't offered this data, the only reason "analysts" think they could get this data is because if they have offices there they might request the data? Lol what kind of clickbait journalism is this, why on earth would Google and Microsoft, or any tech company for that matter, risk handing over user data to any country at all and locking themselves out of every other country on earth? Get this ragebait nonsense out of here.
