- anigbrowl 13y agoI don't think you read his post carefully. The only potential problem I see is that the suspect US-born companies store my online footprints in their servers and I can't download them for myself. However, I'm not even sure that's a problem because what can they do to me with it?
- Sealy 13y agoApologies, I missed your original point. What jurisdiction do you live in? I ask because in the UK, individuals are protected by the Data Protection Act. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Protection_Act_1998 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Protection_Act_1998 On the wikipedia page, on principal #7: Appropriate technical and organisational measures shall be taken against unauthorised or unlawful processing of personal data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal data. Many UK citizens would consider the NSA's actions of snooping around our personal data as a breach of this act. Unless of course we added them as friends on our facebook page. Last time I checked, I didn't. The other principals of the act include the upload of personal information, that it may only be used for the purposes intended. When I upload details on my facebook, I'm not intending its purpose to fulfill matters relating to US security.
