"Lawful Overseas Use of Data"

The only lawful overseas use of data possible is respecting the laws that are in effect overseas. Yes, it is a nightmare for police in New York. It's supposed to be.

The fact that this bill handily disregards not only the above but also the framework that is already in place to grant access to personal data via diplomatic channels is simply the US being its usual bullying self. The fact that the title of the bill is actually the complete opposite of what the bill actually proposes is just normal US politics., par for the course.

Extraordinary Rendition got a bad rap and was put to pasture. Now we have Ordinary Data Rendition, and nobody gives a flying one.

I need a whiskey.
