In this interesting article written by Alessandra Talarico on Key4biz, the seven questions that Europe , through Viviane Reading does to the USA ,in the person of Eric Holder, on the PRISM case.

• Prism and other similar programs only deal with US citizen and resident data, or also – mainly – of non-US citizens, including citizens of the European Union?

• Access, data collection and processing based on Prism and other programs… it is limited to specific and individual cases e, then, what criteria are applied?

• Data is collected or processed en masse on a regular or occasional basis?

• The scope of these programs is limited to national security, to intelligence operations or is broader?

• What tools, judicial or administrative, are available to companies in the United States or the European Union to prevent access, the collection or processing of data under the Prisma program or other programs?

• What tools are available to EU citizens who want to know if they are involved in Prism or other similar programs and how they compare with those available to US citizens?

• What tools are available to EU citizens or companies to oppose access, to the collection or processing of their personal data under the Prism program and how they deal with the rights of US citizens?

These questions give a glimpse of the state of things and the absolute inability of the control and sanction tools developed up to now .

… and then it almost seems like nobody , in the European Commission, have a smartphone or tablet in which you are obliged to accept the sunsets that they break in full, all the principles provided for by the legislation that protects privacy.
