Would you, as an US citizen, be fine with Facebook transferring all your data to another country with no control over it?

- jmclnx 5y agoPeople using facebook ? They do not care at all about where, how and volume of their data. All they want is "pointy/clicky" access to numb their minds. But storing data outside the US, where would US people get their pics from should facebook fold, I will loose my best and free Backup Servise, the NSA :)
- etrabroline 5y agoI've seen this argument a lot recently. "If we screw other people in a sufficiently convoluted and Rube-Goldbergian enough way then it's almost like we're not screwing over anyone at all!"
- pessimizer 5y agoI'd be more comfortable with that than with my own government, that cares what I do and how I vote, having access to facebook's data on me. The scariest part of European data sitting on US servers for Europeans is that the US will have absolutely no regulations keeping them from harvesting, slicing, and packaging every bit of it, and sending it back to Europe. Keeping the data from being shipped out is a good step (hopefully not just focused on Facebook), but reimportation of that data is a laundering process that can render local data protections moot.
