No public ETA to announce yet.
An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment @Dominic Bartl yes this applies also to Identity Platform!
Identity Platform is like an extension to Firebase Auth (like a Premium tier) and thus the data there is also hosted in the US. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Could you please stop commenting +1 and rate with "Critical" if it's that important to you? :)
I did the same!If you have something useful to bring to the discussion, feel free to do that, but I'm actually inclined to remove my vote from this feature request again not to receive emails :)

An error occurred while saving the comment In the Google Cloud Console there is a dashboard which shows your Cloud Tasks queues and allows to manage them!
I believe it's https://console.cloud.google.com/cloudtasks
Emulator support would be nice though

An error occurred while saving the comment Maybe Firebase Hosting might not be the best solution here...
Cloud Load Balancer or Apigee might provider better controls here

An error occurred while saving the comment That would help us in a couple of cases, nice suggestion 👌
@jamshaid ali, This is a complicated topic with no clear-cut answer.
First of all, I'm not a lawyer, so this is not a legal consultation. We have been in conversations with lawyers and GDPR experts.

Why is Firebase Auth an issue:
Firebase Auth stores user data in the US. GDPR prevents data transfer of European user data to countries without the same level of data protection.
The EU publishes a list of safe third countries [1], one of them being Israel, the US NOT being one of them.
There have been attempts to make the EU-US data transfer legal (which have been invalidated multiple times by the EU courts) and there are measures you can take to make it safe (encrypt data before uploading to Firebase, anonymize, ...).
However, those measures would make Firebase Auth unusable as you can just use an anonymous/generated email in Firebase Auth or only with great difficulties.

Specifically to your question, aren't Google Sign-In, etc. an issue, technically yes, but the fact that the user sign-in up for a Google account is NOT the application developers legal issue but Google's.
What you as application developer need to care about is what you do with the data you receive from Google / Apple and if you upload the data to Firebase Auth (meaning transfer the data to the US) it's your legal issue as the application developer.

I hope that clarifies, why we as Firebase customers need a solution to restrict the data storage and processing to the EU.
