Are privacy laws very different from country to country? Well, I guess so,
depending on the country ... but I don't really know what those differences
are.
Lets say a corporation, individual, or state wants access to John's data.
I would be more comfortable if a court reviewed the request, openly, before
the service provider (Think Penguin here) turned over John's data. I would
like it even more if Think Penguin could tell John about the request for his
info, and whether Think Penguin complied.
Will local laws affect how the service handles requests for user info? Will
the service publish a policy for how it will manage requests?
