Right since we can be certain that only the US government does anything like this. Put your data anywhere outside the US and it will be safe.

- pedrocr 13y agoNot my point at all. If I put my data in a European datacenter I'm in the same legal jurisdiction as the potential government snoop. If I put it in the US the USG may be more or less prone to snooping than my local government but what I'm sure of is that I will never have any legal standing to challenge it if it does snoop. I knew this before of course. And before I assumed the snooping was low enough that I didn't care that I didn't have any legal standing to challenge it. Now I'm not so sure.
- justincormack 13y agoThats why much of this is a call for more transparency and law within Europe, including banning things that may be happening in the US, whether they are or not. We know that some European governments are doing things along these lines (with lower budgets). We had the Stasi in Europe, just a few years ago; we invented the Panopticon, and we have had a very mixed record.
