This sort of regulation is not new when it comes to health data. I'm actually surprised storing medical data outside the country was legal in France at any point, I don't think it would have been in my country.

So blaming the GDPR and new rules, seems a bit weird in this case.

Now, consumer protection regulation is always a balancing act. And most consumer protection laws will hurt some companies that didn't actually do anything bad. That doesn't mean I don't want any regulations. Particularly when it comes to healthcare.
