EU, et al. trying to use NSA stories as excuse to kill the open
Internet, as they've wanted to do all along?
http://j.mp/182muVe (Tech Freedom)
"It would be a sad outcome of the surveillance disclosures if they led
to an approach to Internet policy making and governance in which
countries became a series of walled gardens with governments holding
the keys to locked gates. But that is where we will end up if all data
has to stay on servers located in the nation in which a citizen lives
or where a device is located. The digital world does not need another
Great Firewall - in Europe or anywhere else."

And given that EU and most other countries are engaging in similar
surveillance activities themselves to the extent of their technical
abilities, what we really have here is dissembling as the enemies of
the open Internet use this situation as an excuse to accomplish what
they've been hoping for all along.
