    US government says companies are no longer allowed to send bulk data to these nations

    But it's okay for our governmant to spy on us illegally.

    Yeah. IMHO, companies would have to be stupid to be doing so to begin with.

    It is also amazing that they don't think ahead to how much more it will
    cost them to fix whatever depths they stooped to in the first place. Of course, the ones doing the stooping may figure they will be long gone by
    the time that bill needs paying. :|
