Im not sure being not American saves us. Do you use any of those US services? If so, I assume they have your data.

If you are British, as I am, I assume our government is shovelling off all our data to the US too.

As far as I am concerned, the internet is now pretty much like having our lives bugged. Might as well go the whole hog and have CCTV in all house holds. Heh, for all I know they access out webcams, etc. So, we might already be there.

I'm afraid the US has essentially infected the internet with a cancer what will only spread. Freedom, privacy, liberty, on the internet is officially gone. Sure we all "knew" about the likes of echelon for years, but it was officially dismissed as loony conspiracy talk. Now we know it basically true.

Sad thing is, this is under the watch of a Democrat, started by a Republican. Who is going to dare to reverse this?
