What would you say to an American cop that wanted to search your EU located servers based on American laws?
"I can't let you do that as it would breach data protection requirements."
That's the same answer the EUcrats will get.
Really? The US must be more advanced than I thought. I would have expected something more like "how much will you pay for it?"

They are *not* transparent! Trump's dad was a real man and Trump will tweet you to death if you say otherwise!
His dad, maybe, but I heard Trump himself wasn't man enough to join the army. If you know what I mean.

Currently there is nothing to stop me from making an account called "Larry Page", putting up a few images of him and then making outrageous claims about how Google plans to sacrifice puppies to Cthulhu.
Yes there is, you'd be sued for breaking your NDA. Those plans are available only to a very select group.

It makes me feel like my friends are being forcibly outed. It makes me feel like they're being attacked for having unusual names. It makes me feel like they're being attacked for using the name I knew them by because that name is kind of unusual and doesn't show up on their driver's license.
Do you think maybe you're taking it a little personally? I mean really, whatever the pluses or minuses or this, it may be a ridiculous bureaucracy or a bit of a hassle or just no fun but Google really aren't 'attacking' your friends for having unusual names.
Can we get some insight into why the above was modded down? Does anyone disagree that Omnifarious' feeling that his friends are being attacked is completely ridiculous?

Looking at pictures of naked children is 'one of the most heinous and despicable offences'?
Doing so deliberately for purposes of arousal, yes it is.
Where do you put things like theft, rape, assault, or murder then?
Rape and murder are also some of the most heinous and despicable offences. Assault can be, depends on the details. Theft, absent aggravating cirumstances, isn't.
Do you really need people to tell you that?

why isn't she divorced after Monicagate
Why on earth would you care? It's not like divorce is mandatory. Maybe she sorts of likes Bill. Maybe she thinks her kid is better off with both parents around. Maybe she has complex emotions, almost like a human being.
Submission + - British Police Identify Killer in Radiation Case
reporter writes: "According to a story by the Associated Press and a front-page story by "The Guardian", British authorities have identified Andrei Lugovoi to be the murderer who used radioactive pollonium-210 to kill Andrei Litvinenko. The British government will ask Moscow to extradite Lugovoi. "The Guardian" states, "The British government is preparing to demand the extradition of a Russian businessman to stand trial for the poisoning with polonium-210 of the former KGB officer Alexander Litvinenko. Senior Whitehall officials have told the Guardian that a Scotland Yard file on the murder which is about to be passed to the Crown Prosecution Service alleges that there is sufficient evidence against Andrei Lugovoi for the CPS to decide whether he should face prosecution.""
