G+_George Kozi Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Originally shared by George Kozi Mike Elgan " Europe has created a bogus situation with the striking down of the safe harbor provision "? Really? So... the Showdown revelations had nothing to do with this? And those National Security letters and those Secret FISA courts the US has, have nothing to do with this? May I humbly suggest that this European decision is actually in all of our interests. Before this decision nobody found it necessary to do anything about this. Now, we have to. The fact that smallish businesses are affected by this is entirely the fault of the tech giants, the US government and the EU commission. This decision was to be expected. After Snowden, they should have planned ahead and they should have done something. The "ignore Snowden, and trust us" argument is anemic, and utterly insufficient.

G+_George Kozi Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 I don't think it was a rant. I just caught that quote on the fly, and posted this just to offer a different perspective about it. I like the TWIT guys, even when I disagree with their point of view on some issue.

G+_John Donovan Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 George Kozi yes, me too but they do keep a very us centric view of the world that often colours a lot of what us said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_George Kozi Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 They kinda do, but they are looking at the world from that perspective. So to a certain level, it's understandable. I'm sure that some day soon, this will autocorrect. TWiT has an international audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
