MEPs Vote To Suspend Data Sharing With US
New submitter mrspoonsi writes with this news, excerpted from the BBC: "The European Parliament has voted to suspend the sharing of financial data with the U.S., following allegations that citizens' data was spied on....The European Parliament voted to suspend its Terrorist Finance Tracking Program (TFTP) agreement with the US, in response to the alleged tapping of EU citizens' bank data held by the Belgian company SWIFT. The agreement granted the U.S. authorities access to bank data for terror-related investigations but leaked documents made public by whistleblower Edward Snowden allege that the global bank transfer network was the target of wider U.S. surveillance."
It is the NSA's job to protect America and adhere to American laws which have been determined by the AmericanSupreme Court as constitutional so what's the problem? There is no mention of any European law in the Constitution so what's the problem? If the US had to abide by other countries' laws we would still be stoning 16 year old boys and girls for sex outside marriage.
The only that that sould matter to the NSA are American citizens and their interests which are financed by the American taxpayer.
France and Germany should get back to their cheese and weinershnitzel sausages and sipping their red wine. Who the fuck cares what Germany and France think? After all they need us more than we need them and if they don't like it they can come up with their own NSA.
