US Reneges On SWIFT Agreement

Posted by samzenpus on from the we-changed-our-minds dept.

Windrip writes "It seems the US is not living up to its end of the bargain when it comes to the SWIFT data agreement. When the agreement was signed last year, every EU citizen was guaranteed the right to know if the American authorities had retrieved their banking information, and which authorities had requested the information. Now one European Parliamentarian, Alexander Alvaro says that, once again, the Americans are not honoring their treaties."

    Usually people don't hate on average American folk

    I do, and I live in US.
    Best of Americans are tolerable, best of the best are even genuinely good, however average ones are nothing short of horrible.
