[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 98186, post: 1024114"] No software publisher or service provider in any country is going to protect users when presented with a lawful order to reveal user information. That's not even the worst of it. Threat actors want your information a lot more than police do. Everybody is so worried about the police and government surveillance, and yet the greatest active threat are threat actors that steal user data everywhere. As far as privacy laws go, generally, if you are not a citizen of the nation then such consumer protections do not apply to you. For example, GDPR only applies to a US citizen residing within the EU and only for the time range in which they resided there. It would also apply to a US citizen who transits through the EU, but again the protection only applies to the time period of the transit. In short, GDPR applies to anyone who is physically present within the EU. [/QUOTE]
