apparently the european commission did have a chance to prevent the us from eavesdropping on its data but scrapped the legislation why do you think that happened i think. i think partly happened because of corporate interests. because many of the big players in math fields too don't want to be exact the bias count of the insulation maybe there are some statements just as well you know i think it's a mixture of all the state is you know. is giving the corporations some ground in the corporations one this or the state also wants to sneak in on some data they are afraid of. that too much data protection will will hinder them working on terrorists. or calling them terrorists catching terrorists or you know security measurements so. there. has and it's truly it's at more data protection and because they want to see on more things. now security protection and combat against terrorism is of course the other side to this coin and that's obviously the side that the n.s.a. is arguing here and they hope to publicly release they say in the coming weeks the exact number of four year old attacks th
