Russia is raising issue with the spying of the NSA. Wants all its servers located in Russia to Avoid Spying. Microsoft Accused of spying. Russia wants the EU to take over the Net. All I can say is good luck with that. The NSA may be a bigger can of worms than the USA wants to deal with. Companies like Microsoft may be in trouble for helping the NSA to spy on Europe and Russia. This could be big fines at the hands of the EU. Look out baby.

As an American I can say we fully deserve the pushback. Even if the "EU took over the net" that still wouldn't stop the NSA spying, however.

And Microsoft and any other company that collaborated with the U.S. government should have its balls nailed to the wall by EU. Steve Ballmer, the American people are stakeholders in Microsoft as well and you failed us miserably by rolling over for the spymasters instead of pushing back against the Orwellian Big Brother tactics of the state. You deserve whatever fines or penalties the EU can dish out, and I hope they are HUGE. I'd even be fine if they were big enough to be cripple the company.
