I really like Silicon Valley and their initiative, but again and again American companies have shown that they cannot be trusted with European data

Source?

Btw HSBC [1], Unilever [2] and many other European companies have had customer data breaches. I’m sure there would be even more but Europe has almost no top internet consumer companies

So I don’t have a lot of trust in European companies to safeguard customer data, curious to hear why you do.

>>American companies have shown that they cannot be trusted with European data. Source?

Room 641A? NSLs? Lotus Notes? The RSA fiasco? The EU report on Project ECHELON? The PSP? CNN? PBS Frontline? Edward Snowden? ... all the security news for the last few decades.

I might not agree with the idea that US companies are totally untrustworthy, but I would never suggest that idea is unfounded.
