> There is a clear distinction between data I share publicly, data I share explicitly with US Facebook users, and data that I share in a limited setting not involving any US users. You lost me there. You shared it with Facebook users, which are worldwide. Are you from Canada? Well look at you reading my comment I voluntarily pushed over HN, a website accessible worldwide while I'm Canadian. Isn't it absurd that because I'm in Canada I wouldn't expect you to be able to read it? You and everyone else that are on HN? This is not something I send specifically to YOU, this is not something > Unless caught red handed, we generally trust companies to comply, but sometimes verify. Isn't it what we complains about here though? We do not expect Facebook US to handle the data correctly. Yet they do expect them to do it in Europe? I can see your point, Europe can't verify what Facebook do in the US. It's a good point, but I would have been less against their idea if that was the solution, requiring them to allow Europe to verify or else they wouldn't let them hold that data.
