Facebook privacy campaign advances after EU court opinion
http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-34336111
The ECJ is expected to rule in the matter later this
year. The opinion, from one of its advocates general, is likely
to influence that decision. Yves Bot wrote that the Safe
Harbour scheme did not contain "appropriate guarantees for
preventing mass and generalised access" to EU citizens' data
once it had been sent to the US.

Keep in mind the hypocrisy on which the EU (and Russia and some other
countries) stances on in-country data are based. This is virtually
nothing to do with supposed U.S. surveillance, and *everything* to do
with making it as easy as possible to spy on their own citizens' data!
The last thing EU and Russian politicians (et al.) want is their
citizens' data safely encrypted and stored on U.S. servers where they
can't spy on it!
