    Reuters[^]:

    German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Saturday she would talk to French President Francois Hollande about building up a European communication network to avoid emails and other data passing through the United States.

    Remember that time those two got together without the US? It didn't work out too well

          What's the use of a European internet with all computers running OSes made in USA, and all network hardware being manufactured in USA? Or China - is that better? And with many US companies having offices in Europe, even US armed forces in Europe, and thus being part of that network - isn't that a secret network with the "enemy" already listening inside? Totally useless.

            It's a brain fuzz, at first. At second, the laws of the country of the server location are applicable, and therefore an European intranet may be of use when trying to fight cyber crime (or privacy infringement), at least within the European borders. Let's be honest, companies could just relocate servers to European countries, and achieve the same effect.

              I do like the comment by pgbd: "Every time the vast superiority of innovative US technology comes up with another new product, the Europeans seek helplessly for a way to combat it instead of coming up with a few inventions of their own." I do hope he's enjoying the World Wide Web as he drives to work in his car, or commutes on the train.

                It will not happen. This means no more diablo, wow, battlefield or whatever game which needs a server (this means like 80% of the recently new games)you can think of. The gamers will riot and everyone knows you should never angry a gamer. I pray they wont do something so stupid soon after all diablo reaper of souls is coming on 25.03.

                    If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
                    You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
                    Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein
