Angela Merkel Tells US Firms To Meet German Privacy Rules

Posted by samzenpus on Monday July 15, 2013 @07:27AM from the do-as-we-say-and-as-we-do dept.

judgecorp writes "Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel has given her backing to proposed European privacy regulations and demanded that U.S. firms should meet German privacy rules. Merkel's stance comes as U.S. firms lobby against strict E.U. privacy proposals — but also follows revelations from Edward Snowden through German newspaper Der Spiegel, that the German authorities are helping the NSA spy on German citizens."
