Does the EU-Commission use Google Analytics?
,----[ Quote ]
| And if so, does this constitute a national
| security risk? I am just asking because
| even in private sector operations often
| passionate citizens approach us with
| concerns when we use Google Analytics. I
| am curious if the European Data Protection
| Supervisor website also uses Google
| Analyticsâ

EU Chemical Agency and the Analytics trojan
,----[ Quote ]
| I wonder how a public authority can make a
| company use the traffic information of its
| visitors for commercial analysis purposes.
| So in other words, a European Union body
| allows a company from a third nation to
| record traffic data, to spy on the use of
| its government websites and hand it out to
| third nation authorities.

| If you're concerned about Google retaining

| Schmidt.

Yahoo, Verizon: Our Spy Capabilities Would âShockâ, âConfuseâ Consumers
,----[ Quote ]
| Want to know how much phone companies and
| internet service providers charge to
| funnel your private communications or
| records to U.S. law enforcement and spy
| agencies?
|
| Thatâs the question muckraker and Indiana
| University graduate student Christopher
| Soghoian asked all agencies within the
| Department of Justice, under a Freedom of
| Information Act (FOIA) request filed a few
| months ago. But before the agencies could
| provide the data, Verizon and Yahoo
| intervened and filed an objection on
| grounds that, among other things, they
| would be ridiculed and publicly shamed
| were their surveillance price sheets made
| public.

ECPA Protections Don't Apply Outside United States
,----[ Quote ]
| Along the way, the court rejected public
| policy arguments in support of the
| plaintiffs' claims for ECPA protection. It
| rejected as well the contention that the
| ECPA applied because the electronic
| communications disclosed by Yahoo! China
| "may" have traveled through Yahoo!'s
| domestic network. Prior cases under the
| Wiretap Act, Stowe v. Devoy, 588 F.2d 336
| (2d Cir. 1978), for example, have ruled
| that cross-border phone calls intercepted
| in Canada were not subject to the Wiretap
| Act.

SWIFT - EU to grant USA nearly unlimited access to all EU banking data
,----[ Quote ]
| Itâs everything about SWIFT, a company that
| handles the bank transactions for thousands
| of bank, inluding most European banks.
| SWIFT is based in Belgium but has also a
| branch in the USA. Under the TFTP programme
| the US government forced the US branch
| (which mirrors all data based in Belgium)
| to allow government access to all these
| bank transactions in order to help anti-
| terrorism operations.
