US To Get EU Private Citizen Data

An anonymous reader writes "In a case of 'all your data are belong to us,' the US government is close to coming to an agreement with the EU that allows it to get private citizen data on EU citizens to 'look for suspicious activity.' So, now we know what step three is: set up a security agency in the US to resell otherwise unavailable data."

"Great, so Washington politicians living a thousand miles away who don't even speak your dialect can make decisions like this patriot act, and you have no say in it whatsoever. The way the US is acting recently, it's becoming less like a democratic organization, and more like a giant, unaccountable fascist bureaucracy."

Suitably edited to show that the EU is late. ;)
