So call it what it is, the prevalence of American culture. Not some kind of new world Fascist order or any other the other nonsense you're trying to paint this as. Notice how the only people being harmed in this situation are the guys involved with the wikileaks nonsense, who really brought it on their own head.

Think about it for a minute. Regardless of how you or I feel about the whole wikileaks debacle, are you really surprised that there are people out there trying to pull his information?

Really, this entire thread boils down to your points 1 and 2. "We're Europeans, so our way of life is different from those in America, therefore their way of life is wrong and ours is right".


No it boils down to: "We're Europeans, so our way of life is different from those in America, therefore their way of life should not be forced upon us by sneaky actions taken by private companies". That you don't care about privacy is no problem for me, I'm explaining why I'm pro-privacy. You come up with ridicules twisting of words implying that I said Nazi's will take over Google. I'm trying to sketch why privacy *MIGHT BE* important.
Now who is forcing his opinion on others? I think in this case it's Google trying to circumvent EU-law while still reaping the benefits of the EU (Double dutch sandwich, among other things); I don't see what's weird with warning other people of this.
Whether you need that warning or not is up to you, albeit, with you living in the USA, you have no choice anyway.
