- Reminds me of that new law in the Netherlands where there are strict rules on collecting data within the Netherlands that still allow for research to be done. However it has this tiny loophole that allows any data to be sent to other countries indiscriminately.
  
  A referendum was even held and the results were ignored.
  
  I just hope this won't have bad consequences long term. The truth is that this ignores the right to privacy.
  
  The truth is that leadership world wide only values privacy when it's their own. Everything else is a big f'n show. Information is the single most valuable commodity on the planet and knowing your potential "opponents" is priceless. Maintaining power over others necessitates invading the privacy of others in the minds of 99% of people.
