EU close to banning US clouds
 

It seems that the US government is prepared to sacrifice its nation’s cloud business on the bonfire of its obsession with spying.

European Union privacy regulators are leaning toward the restriction of personal data transfers to the United States because of the risk of US. surveillance, mostly because the US government will not back down.

A top EU court last year struck down the Safe Harbour system, used by thousands of businesses to easily transfer data across the Atlantic, because the data were not protected enough from any US snooping.
