Data Miners Moving to Offshore Data Havens

Posted by michael on from the data-arbitrage dept.

schwit1 writes "Washington Post has an article about former TIA personnel moving their data mining operations offshore (Bahamas) to escape U.S. privacy rules, and to make a buck. I'm waiting for somebody to publish the private data (financial, medical, legal) of federal officials and their families on an open internet web server out of the Bahamas. Is this what it will take for the US to enact stringent privacy rules?"

    I'd keep my eye on Iceland. To those guys, your country would look like some sort of tropical paradise.
