Cheers Ireland! That sorts our Safe Harbour issues out – Dropbox

This is utter tosh - seriously. If the US gov approach Dropbox with a s215 order (which always comes with a gag attached) are you seriously going to tell me that the executives from Dropbox are going to refuse and go to jail instead? Don't be ridiculous.

This is a PR stunt and nothing more, it makes absolutely zero difference to the US surveillance machine being able to access that data. Furthermore, the Irish DPA can't do jack about it - they don't even have the power to issue fines/penalties.

Please go and educate yourself on the matter, it might save you the 5 minutes it took you to write that nonsense you wrote above.
