Is there a way to prove after Snowden that there is no direct data pipe between Microsoft data centers and NSA
- refurb 6y agoI'll speak for myself only, but if the choice is between the US gov't (or any Western gov't) having my data versus China having it, I'll pick the Western countries.
- beaunative 6y agoto be honest, you'd rather have the government other than your place of living to have your data.
- int_19h 6y agoNot necessarily. For example, if your data contains something that is embarrassing but not illegal, a foreign government is more likely decide to use that to blackmail you into committing crimes (say, industrial espionage) on their behalf.
- beaunative 6y agothis is not technically impossible, but a slippery slope to go on, I wouldn't risk prison time just to save an embarrassment for sure.
- int_19h 6y agoFor most, this depends on how serious the embarrassment is, and how much risk there is of getting caught.
