Re: It's OK with the EU?

>Yes. I think that's eventually going to be the solution.

I think the solution is going to be that Google sets up a server in an Eu country that needs Google's business more than it needs votes of privacy activists.

Google are then going to 'process' all the Eu data there - because the Eu can't restrict cross border trade between members. - and transfers from there to the USA are going to be within the rules of that friendly country.

When the Eu tries to prohibit this, as it did with tax breaks, they are just going to appeal it for 10years while the friendly government drags its heels on implementation.
