As a person "outside the united states and not a US person" this doesn't fill be with confidence about using US based internet services. It also doesn't give me much confidence about communicating with "US persons".
- famousactress 13y agoSpeaking as a US Person... Honestly, thank God for this. Hopefully lots of non-US-persons vote with their dollars and feet on this issue. I think the financial impact has better odds at moving the needle on US public opinion than flogging our representatives with regard to civil liberties or privacy.

- alan_cx 13y agoIndeed. You only have to see the massive trade deal the EU and US are putting through to see how much Europe cares. Could have been some gentle leverage there, but no.
- wtvanhest 13y agoYes, now you know for a fact that using a US internet communications company will result in your data being stored or at least examined by the US government. Unfortunately there is no evidence that other countries will not apply the same tactics to whichever internet communications companies exist on their soil.
