The way I feel about US internet data policy is: I'd rather have my data go through germany, denmark, and china than the US (well UK is pretty bad too, but google doesn't have data warehouses there). But thats just me.
True, but here in the Netherlands if they expect you to have terrorist bonds they can get taps on you without a court order as well. The Dutch people are just not that aware their privacy is invaded so much almost as much as they don't seem to care. Maybe we're one of the few people who seem to agree with the notion; I got nothing to hide so please waiste your time going through my garbage.

I honestly think that last sentence holds allot of truth
