summary
Argument: Europe treats personal data as an individual right under the charter of fundamental rights, while the US defaults to “allowed unless forbidden,” producing divergent rules, litigation paths and business effects: Snowden drives a reported 25% drop in US company revenue in Europe and a forecasted €30 billion cloud shortfall by 2016, so firms are building European cloud infrastructure and claiming compliance. The panel coins a military corporate information complex, cites Google buys (Motorola 2011, Boston Dynamics 2013, Nest 2014) and urges judicial redress plus competition enforcement.
