As we look at more and more governments admitting to data surveillance within the reach they have in their country, you will start to see more and more countries come up with protectionism laws in the hope that data will remain secure. As everything that any government does, expect this to be slow and very ineffective. By the time new legislation is constructed, designed and finally put into law, many moon cycles will have passed and we will have completely different concerns that are heavy in the press by then.
What I do love about this article is the clear and immediate condemnation across the world of the NSA only to be slowly followed by local European governments' admissions to either copying the same tactics as in France or heavy cooperation as in Germany. Opposition parties are quick to draw swords, but are not sure how they would react if in power during this post 9/11 era, where we are all enjoying a modicum of peace without global terrorist attacks.
