Who Has Your Back 2014: Protecting Your Data From Government Requests

It wouldn't matter if there were governments that wouldn't spy on you. That you don't put your data on a server in the US isn't going to stop the NSA, that you didn't put it in the UK isn't going to stop GCHQ, and so on.

This idea that you just put your data in Europe and it's safer is just laughable. The treat is pervasive, it is intelligence agencies working together all around the world. It doesn't stop at any national border.

I can't tell if you're being humourous or not, but the Snowden releases weren't really new information, they were proof of what information that had leaked out over the past decades.

All fair points, yeah. No, there was no pun intended with echelon, I originally had it the way I wanted, but beer and a spellchecker overruled me.

Pretty poor situation.
