Trump's Tax BILL includes privacy grab via the U.S. CLOUD Act!

Are you aware that Trump's massive (fast-track) Tax BILL snuck in a Privacy LAW scheme - detrimental?

Have you heard that Facebook, outside the U.S., has a worldwide run under one gigantic shell in Ireland (a tax avoidance scheme); and that Facebook has an ongoing case in Ireland (and European Union), for 5 years now, addressing multi-international rights concerning "privacy"?

Letting that sink in for a moment.....

.............tap...Tap......TAP. ......

Are you concerned yet (you dam well should be)!

There's no question - whether or not - the United States seeks to use (secret) FISA Courts & convoluted -
territorily - Law Codes, to violate everyone's privacy.

Only question being fought (in a race to the bottom) is who is the authority, over what governments (worldwide) can go through your data; and who is to be - "THE AUTHORITY" - over the right to look at your "stuff".

It's called the U.S. CLOUD Act .....

A proviso within discussion, on international stages, is that (under pretense of possible "imminent harm" hunting) any government can get a court order answer - in just 6 hours of a filed request - to access all data streams.

Do you really think a judge will be anything other than a "Robo-signer"?

REALLY!



.

Facebook has been fighting, since 2013, in Ireland, for its right to ignore your rights, on the international stage; and Trump's Tax BILL seeks to make it - WORSE!

Just sayin......

...........................H E L L O ooooooo!

the world's citizenry - to maintain privacy.

International Privacy Standards are being violated, on a regular basis. Could you imagine all your websites and blogs being subjected to inquiry - by any nation or organization - worldwide?

Where - even if they did inform you a request has been made (which they won't) - where do you get the million $$$ to fight multi-nations legal teams, efforts?

Shheesshh!
