Foreign Data Unsafe From US Patriot Act, Says American Law Firm

Posted by samzenpus on Thursday January 26, 2012 @01:05AM from the long-arm-of-the-law dept.

natecochrane writes "A prestigious law firm warns non-U.S. businesses their data is unsafe from costly and invasive raids by American law enforcement even if they host their data in their own countries. The wide interpretation of the USA Patriot Act ensures U.S. cops can legally demand data from almost anyone, anywhere for any reason and countries and their citizens are largely powerless to resist. The advice has resonance with the arrest this week of Kim 'Dotcom' on alleged copyright violations in the U.S."

LOL.... Yeah, as opposed to the rest of the world.
Post where you live and we'll look up how much "aid" the US sends to your "peaceful benevolent government."
I'll also remind of this post the next time you come whining because you had an earthquake, tsunami, or the country next to you attacks.
That is if I can be bothered to tear myself away from the buffet and climb over the piles of money to get the phone and see what you want.
