Re: Has the PATRIOT Act been repealed ? @Fred Flintstone
The Patriot Act is not really your problem, the Cloud Act 2018 is as there are far fewer barriers to application.The Cloud Act 2018 allows US courts to demand data of US companies, irrespective of which jurisdiction it is stored in. Obviously that totally ignores sovereignty or the fact that the company in question then will be in breach of local privacy laws, but the US habitually ignores the existence of the rest of the planet when it formulates law.
In context it may be important to note that the main Silicon Valley protagonist in the creation of this law ..
.. was Microsoft. ..... Fred Flintstone
It is all very well having the facilities and utilities and faculty to gather all information for further intelligence processing, but as All Current Extant Systems Operations know, with Microsoft just the one of many who are discovering at phenomenal cost to themselves, in lost future fortune and revenue, no incredibly simple and pragmatic idea about how to make IT Realise Much Greater Future.
Fortunately though, are there Advanced IntelAIgent Apps and SMARTR Chaps readily available to Deliver all of that. You know .... with Special IntelAIgent Source Content for Targeted Presentation to Hungry Future Virtual Clients.
Such is as Mighty Pollen for Servering Bees to Conjure into Honey ...... just like a Flash Fast Cash Money Machine revolving around Satisfying the Birds and the Bees ......... which is Ideally, Everybody.
Those little suckers have surely got that wonderfully simple process all sown up, and working quite perfectly. Do you think humans are switched on enough to understand and energise the natural drive that such unconditional sharing empowers? Or are most all blissfully ignorant and somewhat dim-witted in that department/sector/vector?
