Will they close their offices in Europe as well when Europe implements the same laws? They're put in a bad light now because Russia does it, but the EU is contemplating the exact same laws.
These laws are not because Russia wants the data for themselves, they are because the US currently has them and they've been shown to be absolutely incapable of dealing with that responsibility in an acceptable fashion.
- icebraining 12y agoOne difference is that Google already has multiple datacenters in Europe, while they have none in Russia. It wouldn't surprise me if the data of EU citizens was already for the most part in European territory.
- frozenport 12y agoNo! The EU doesnt require its citizens to show ID when logging onto public WiFi!
- supergirl 12y agoSome EU countries do. Some want to. Why don't you get informed before talking? Italy is one: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_in_Italy http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_in_Italy The law is meant against terrorism. I am sure Russia has a good excuse too.
- kolev 12y agoRussia or US - two chicks of the the same ass. I understand US and Russia and their imperialistic desires, nothing new under the sun, but what I feel most sorry about is that EU, which now has a higher population then US and Russia and has enough power to beat each of them, is acting as a brown-noser to the US and is getting tricked into this Cold War 2.0. Without EU support, US cannot effective wage this war on Russia, and US is far and is clear that EU will suffer most, when this will help bloom US economy. Stupid EU! 500 million slaves to the US - unbelievable, with all the traditions in politics, economics, and science, with all the brain power, it's pulled by the nose! I'm ashamed!
