From Mr Clarke's comments:
"The real solution for privacy isn't data localization; the real solution is
to secure the data in the cloud. Where the server sits is unimportant."
In my opinion the above conflates privacy and security. Having data
"in the cloud" obfuscates the jurisdiction aspect. From a privacy
perspective, where the server sits is important if a person would
like to find out which laws may be relevant.
Mr Clarke also commented that:
'One of the reasons for this loss of marketing share is because non-US
companies, particularly Asian companies, are using the NSA revelations
as a marketing tool to say that US products are untrustworthy because
they're bugged by the NSA. Clarke said "The hilarious part is that
they're not. But the products you can get from certain Asian
manufacturers are."'
It is difficult to convince people from the rest of the world that
the products from certain Asian manufacturers are untrustworthy as
there aren't any reports to support that claim.
