What impact is this going to have on them from the legal side of things? They've got enough trouble with Facebook Ireland Ltd. and privacy/data retention, but now that they're actually storing user data in an EU state, does that make things more complicated for them?
- mongol 15y agoThe EU Data Rentention Directive should apply. From Wikipedia "According to the directive, member states will have to store citizens' telecommunications data for six to 24 months stipulating a maximum time period. Under the directive the police and security agencies will be able to request access to details such as IP address and time of use of every email, phone call and text message sent or received. A request to access the information will be possible only with a court order." However, this is not yet a law in Sweden, and it was not implemented in time. I believe Sweden pays a fine for this and but the political opposition has suspended it until 2012. It should be law by the time the data center is operational.
