Re: If the UK votes to leave the EU...

If the UK votes to leave the EU...and you live in the UK it will be open season on your data.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but it's already open season on UK citizens data, because GCHQ get all the powers they want, have zero accountability, and no need under UK law to get warrants. In the the highly unlikely event that GCHQ can't help themselves to your data they'll outsource the job to NSA and their mates, under the reciprocal Five Spies umbrella.

No matter what the EU say about data protection, and the supposed "rights" you have, successive UK home secretaries have worked ceaselessly to ensure that your data is readily accessible to the stasi. Your optimism in the benefits of EU membership is quite touching, though.
