I'm from Germany I can see Linked In in the appstore. Since 2000 there are Safe Harbor laws in place that regulate how data can be stored in the US etc. altough their privacy standards don't match EU and especially German standards. My government was thinking about changing those contracts during the NSA scandals but AFAIK we're stuck in negotiations atm. By the way those negotiations are a farce since our intelligence services will hand the data right over to the NSA anyways.

To be pedantic, Safe Harbour died in 2015. The replacement is the EU-US Privacy Shield: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EU-US_Privacy_Shield https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EU-US_Privacy_Shield

  Indeed, and this "Privacy Shield" is already being challenged in European courts: http://www.natlawreview.com/article/legal-challenge-to-eu-us-privacy-shield-framework http://www.natlawreview.com/article/legal-challenge-to-eu-us... The bigger question to be asked here is, with China demanding the removal of the NYT app, and Russia demanding the same for LinkedIn, how long before Trump orders Signal or Telegram to be removed?
