Merkel's Mobile and US Spying
Read this article online today, the photo says it all. The United States really did quite some damage here. If there is anything that you don't want to be messing with in Europe, that would be the issue of "Privacy" with a capital P.
It is interesting to note the cultural differences across the world when it comes to personal privacy. Talking to businesses and individuals from the US, Europe, Middle East and Asia, you very quickly realize that some feel more strongly than others about data privacy. From time to time you hear US tech companies get slapped on the face when they expand their services abroad due to privacy issues. GoogleMaps is a good example. In the new era of Big Data, the Internet of Things, Smart Cities and the increasing challenge of cyber security, how people feel about the technologies and their privacy can have interesting impacts on how the local commerce, legal, economics...etc develops in the future.
It may seem extreme to people from other parts of the world, but don't cross that EU fine line of Human Rights, that EU fine line of personal privacy and personal space, unless you want to get slapped.
