Google: You'd better listen to us than opposite.

Other than in UK I'm more than happy with European privacy legislation compared to US. It's imageable that we could grant Snowden asylum, but you would put him in jail for 20 years at least. There are also - afaik and except UK - no laws which enforce corporations to spy on behalf of the government without being able to stand behind these actions.

Right to forget. Would such a thing come from the US?

We in Switzerland also have our own privacy laws and we don't care much for the US ones.

There was a scandal recently with a political staff member being involved in pornos. US papers plastered her face all over while censoring any naughty parts. In the Swiss press her face was covered to protect her privacy while the rest was not covered.

Also if you are accused of a crime and are a public figure you won't have your name and face printed all over the papers because you might actually be innocent.

The US says we are innocent until proven guilty. But as soon as you are arrested that information is public. They shouldn't be able to destroy you publicly if you haven't been convicted.

We really need to fix this.
