@stilkov sure: privacy is not protected in the EU, for example. The spooks happily hoover up whatever they want without worrying about laws

@adean It's very much protected by law, at least in Germany. Much much more than in the US. We've always found US privacy laws laughable.

@adean I don't feel certain at all, on the contrary. But they violate the law if/when they do.
