EU suspends data sharing with US due to spying
[quote]The European Parliament has voted to suspend the sharing of financial data with the US, following allegations that citizens' data was spied on.
The allegation forms part of leaked documents from whistleblower Edward Snowden.
The vote is non-binding but illustrates MEPs' growing unease over how much data was shared with the US.
It comes a day after it was alleged that German Chancellor Angela Merkel's mobile phone calls were monitored.
The European Parliament voted to suspend its Terrorist Finance Tracking Program (TFTP) agreement with the US, in response to the alleged tapping of EU citizens' bank data held by the Belgian company SWIFT.
The agreement granted the US authorities access to bank data for terror-related investigations but leaked documents made public by whistleblower Edward Snowden allege that the global bank transfer network was the target of wider US surveillance.
MEPs also want to launch a full inquiry into the alleged spying.[/quote]
Well done America, your alienating the largest economy on the planet.

1 ReplyEdited by risay_117: 10/24/2013 3:13:52 PMLooks like America really is shooting themselves in the shoe. Why are they trying to spy on others, is it a fear of losing power, is it money, is it corporate competitiveness that is pushing the government to spy. Same thing happened in Canada where the intelligence was spying on Brazil for the Canadian corporations. Looks like Americans will really need to shake things up to change the country.

Good! We deserve it!

These same people would be begging us to back up their asses if anything happened to them.

1 ReplyEdited by DEZARATH: 10/24/2013 2:07:06 PMYou would think after these revelations Germany would invite Snowden and grant citizenship rather than letting him rot in Russia.

Not that it's going to stop the NSA and CIA from accessing that information, just make it harder to obtain. However, good for the EU.
