CORONA_OFFLINE, I think, what Q means is that the Xbox spying program is taken out (Silence is golden). Is/was Deac (data center) connected with the Xbox spy program?

Snowden and Xbox Kinect
Is my Xbox spying on me?
At one point, Snowden is having a clandestine meeting with the filmmakers in a Hong Kong hotel room when the phone rings. It's apparently just an innocuous inquiry from room service, but when the conversation ends, Snowden unplugs the phone from the wall.
"All of these new (Internet-enabled) phones, they have little computers in them, and you can hot mic these … even when the receiver's down," he said. "As long as it's plugged in, (someone) can be listening."
That sounded pretty scary. But then I realized that one of the toys my wife and I had just bought for our kids had an even more frightening potential for misuse.
It's called a Kinect, and it's a device for Microsoft's Xbox video game system that comes with a microphone, a camera and technology that recognizes a user's voice and face. Once it knows you, you simply say "Xbox on," and the console springs to life.
The Kinect understands all kinds of other voice and gesture commands, creating an immersive gaming experience that is definitely cool. But unless you unplug or otherwise disable the device, it's always on, always connected to the Internet, and with Snowden's unnerving story fresh in my mind, I had to ask myself: What did I just bring into my house?

Deac
DEAC to build €10m data center in Riga
European cloud and colocation specialist DEAC is about to start construction of its third data center in Riga, Latvia.
The 4MW facility is expected to open in 2018 and will establish DEAC as the largest commercial data center operator in the Baltics, in terms of rack space.
DEAC runs two data centers in the Latvian capital, and leases space in London, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Moscow and Kiev.
Its first data center - Grizinkalns - was built in a disused Soviet bunker, buried 12 meters under the ground and covered by a 1.5 m thick lead dome. During the Cold War, the site used to serve as an army command point and it remains something of a landmark.
