- Buttons840 2y agoCopper Curtain
- marcosdumay 2y agoEither Silicon or Optical Fiber Curtain.
- zo1 2y agoA reference to "The Iron Curtain"?
- HPsquared 2y agoIndeed. Like the Iron Curtain, but more porous and networky.
- troupo 2y agoYou truly believe the US wouldn't do the same? BTW what's your take on US requiring US-based companies to provide data on foreign citizens if subpoenaed?
- immibis 2y agoThe US does it through a private business (Cloudflare), so it's constitutional.
- troupo 2y agoI'm desperately trying to figure out this response, and I can't. Meanwhile: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41280221 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41280221
- cscurmudgeon 2y agoThe debate is what EU would do if foreign companies don't obey EU's laws. The debate is not whether the US will do something draconian the EU is doing today.
- troupo 2y agoWhat draconian laws does EU apply to foreign companies? Try to come up with examples of companies that don't have offices and legal and commercial presence in the EU. BTW remind me what's your take on the US banning Huawei in the US?
- BlueTemplar 2y agoSince when do they bother with subpoenas ? Or are you referring to the secret courts rubberstamping wiretapping after the fact ?
- troupo 2y agoI used subpoena as an umbrella term, there are multiple ways to get that data. E.g. here's Facebook's report: https://transparency.meta.com/reports/government-data-requests/country/US/ https://transparency.meta.com/reports/government-data-reques... In July-January 2023 they received FISA requests targeting over 150 thousand foreign nationals
