Objectively, what would you have against your data going to the US?
I'm both in the "I have nothing to hide but I can't tell the future" and the "my data is pretty useless but fuck no I'm not going to let Apple/Google/Facebook make money from my data without my say so" camps.
Besides that (and suddenly it becomes geopolitical) I dislike the US (not the people, the system) and if this is the only way I can tell the giant bully to F off, even though it will go unnoticed, well so be it.
If I were a Twitter user I'd likely include hashtags like #SnowdenIsAHero, #RememberTheMauritanian, etc. in my tweets but I'm less angry than lazy..
Nice. I think that's probably a better approach to the internet than most people take.
Fair points. I see what you're saying about Balkanized regulations.
I guess in a perfect world, data protections rules/practices would have a global standardization.
I'm doubtful that would ever happen, though.
