Ask HN: Global data protection & seizure laws summary page?
1 points by marcuspovey 4679 days ago
Is there a summary page somewhere that lists, in plain English, what laws data is subject to in a given jurisdiction worldwide?

So, for example, as a UK resident, I am subject to RIPA and can be forced to hand over encryption keys. As I store data on a US server, that data can be taken via the Patriot act with little or no warning...

... etc.
