For what it's worth, non-american citizens on non-american soil have no legal protection against the same. And big ad monopolies are not in the business of pissing off the security state.
- walrus01 4y agoI don't see how, for instance, with a Austrian customer of a Belgian data center operator, the Belgian data center operator does not have a legal obligation to form a secure database pipeline connection and replicate everything directly into the NSA. Obviously whatever signals intelligence gathering method or data copying the NSA might be doing in Western Europe could very well exist, but it's not a defined requirement for that theoretical Belgian ISP.
- woooooo 4y agoCorrect, a Belgian isp would have vastly fewer reasons to comply with polite requests from CIA/NSA than a US-based FAANG.
