| Germans and French negotiate a US free web It looks like the plans to fire the US as the supreme overload of the web are well underway with the Germans and the French revealing that they are plotting something. Rumours of the plan started to filter out last week, but over the weekend German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she would talk to French President Francois Hollande about building up a European communication network to avoid emails and other data passing through the United States. Merkel, who visits France on Wednesday, has been pushing for greater data protection in Europe following reports last year about mass surveillance in Germany. The US really did make a big mistake when it thought it could get away with tapping Merkel's mobile phone. Merkel was not amused that Google and Facebook based their operations in countries with low levels of data protection while being active in countries such as Germany with high data protection. http://news.techeye.net/business/ger...-a-us-free-web |
