rapid flow of information between the EU and the US depends on mutual trust
It is beyond amazing, that Americans have KNOWINGLY broken that trust and expect everybody to pretend it didn't happen.
Funny though, they are right. EU will huff and puff (for the sake of plebs) and it will patch something up to keep the data flowing.
And hey, even if they were to stop it officially, they still allow our cousins to spy by other means, pretending it's not happening. I mean, have we heard about EU or EU states investigating how our US friends plug into Europe-bound cables and waves?
