Hm, well none of any of that would be additionally required for this new program, and I'd be willing to wager EU law prohibits the collection of social media account information.


EU law prohibits the collection of social media account information

I looked it up, and by my reading it does prohibit collection of social media account information. However, it's not clear to me that these protections apply to non-EU residents? Any actual lawyers able to chime in on this?

I guess at worst, any suspicious US citizens will have their internet details collected? Since we do the same to EU citizens, I guess I can't complain, but this creeping global data collection monster really gets under my skin.
