I think based on other Snowden revelations about non five-eye countries like Germany, Austria collaborating with the NSA and GCHQ - I think we all need to question whether any NATO country can be trusted for data privacy...


So you can't trust the US, UK, Canada, Australia, NZ, Germany, France, basically all of the West, who can you trust?


I have no answers. However, with the EU Parliament elections coming on May 22, I hope that someone with a less goldfish-like memory than mine may try to collate what the various electoral options may be.

Evidently, none of the big three UK political parties have any interest in reining in GCHQ, just as neither the Democrats nor Republicans have any interest in constraining the NSA. Who does wish to pull that leash back?


This is a very valid question.
