The point is that the American government have no right to monitor my communications with a website outside the US, given I live in the UK (we'll ignore that I work for an American company for a bit).
If the UK government decides they need to monitor my communications, fair enough. I am, afterall, subject to UK law.
- atlanticus 13y agoThe UK gov shares data with the US.
- alexchamberlain 13y agoIt can only share a certain amount under EU Law. There would have to be some sort of criminal threat.
- bobbydavid 13y agoIs there any check/balance on the definition of "criminal threat"? Because that's a pretty loose definition a priori. "We believe a terrorist exists in GB. That constitutes a criminal threat. To catch him or her, we need to run big data analysis on all communications."
- alexchamberlain 13y agoThat doesn't follow - that wouldn't allow the export of European data to the US.
