Google’s $6B Miscalculation on the EU

What about Chinese spying? Or the internet propaganda firms in Russia? The UK arguably has the worst domestic spying in the Western world. Rules need to be made on a global scale similar to the ICBM restrictions during the Cold War.

These are not NSA issues its a global issue. What are the ROE for cyber attacks? There are much deeper issues beside the NSA reading my gmail, which I dont mind.

What I do mind is undermining technologies that are supposed to protect us from 3rd parties (criminals and governments alike).

> What about Chinese spying?

Absolutely a huge concern going forward but right now they don't have anywhere near the reach of the US.

> Or the internet propaganda firms in Russia?

On a completely different scale from the US.

> The UK arguably

Their domestic spying is just as atrocious but internationally they are just tools of the NSA.

When one actor is 10x the size of all other actors combined globally it isn't out of line to put the majority of the scrutiny on them and the companies they have deep influence on.
