Google Takeout means something else in light of PRISM
I am kind of surprised how many people on HN try to downplay the PRISM thing. The recent revelations and controversy directly affect the business prospects of any US firm that stores data.A couple of months ago I was on an education business fair in Germany and the first thing I heared at the booth of many data-handling businesses was: "We don't store anything in the United States. All our servers are in Europe/Germany."I now wonder if next year, some will advertise that they don't even have a US subsidiary and are thus not under US jurisdiction.
