EU gets tough on internet data protection
http://www.euronews.net/ The EU has unveiled tough new rules on protecting internet users personal data that have far-reaching implications for web giants such as Google and Facebook. The proposals would significantly boost regulators’ data protection powers.
Companies could be fined up to one percent of their global revenues for violating the rules.
Justice Commissioner Viviane Reding said: “Citizens will have to know how their data is processed. Second: a consent to use data will be necessary, to be given the explicit consent by the citizens.”

The US government tries to suppress casual internet users, because big business tells them to.
The EU tries to stop big business from misusing personal information, supporting casual internet users.
Just another example of why the USA isn't better then Europe.

Government only knows law not the internet. Let the tech giant deal with the internet.
