In this article in English, German Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich clearly said : ” anyone who fears that their communications may be intercepted in some way, it should use services that do not pass through American servers”.

Clearly this disruptive statement is part of the Datagate Prism scandal which sees the revelations of Edward Snowden ascertain a systematic espionage of all data passing through the network .

Germany, as well as France , is, without too many words, pointing the index on the American system and on all the stars and stripes OTTs that hold most of the traffic generated by individuals and companies.

We are at an epochal crossroads, where some European states are waking up from the dangerous sleep induced by an increasingly invasive and increasingly subtle technology, becoming aware that this economic crisis also passes through the loss of competitiveness induced by those who compete unfairly on the market, it produces misleading advertising and pays no taxes in territories where it generates huge income.

In Italy we are always a great rear, although some of the political representatives begin to “raise the crest” muttering something about the scandal ( already widely known ) by Prism.

Considering that France and Germany are running for cover by starting to propose a tssa to the OTTs , it seems that there are no longer to remain helpless to the excessive power of these subjects and that they even want to design an alternative network…

Meanwhile, all that is “cloud” will undergo a significant downsizing, though the prophets of this paradigm continue to preach ( without real evidence ) savings on infrastructure and increased efficiency (….perhaps of those who will spy on the data without even breaking European and local laws because all they have to do is open the folders, falsely encrypted, on servers outside of Europe…)!!!

Shock announcement by German Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich: if you feel spied on, don't use American sites!
