The US not only wants to extend the amount of time it keeps EU citizen data travelling to the US from 3 to 15 years, it not also only wants to keep information on race, sex lives, credit card numbers and purchases, religion and other incredibly personal biographical data, it also wants to reserve the right to pass this data on to any third party it deems fit!
Thankfully the EU is in an outrage over this. The UK is pretending it’s nose is bleeding, even though this agreement will come into effect in the beginning of August!

Oh… and what’s the excuse? Yep, you guessed it: Terrorists!
