<nettime> data sovereignty for some

> From https://www.wired.com/story/us-forcing-chinese-firm-sell-gay-dating-app-grindr/ :

"Reuters didn't say what specific issues CFIUS raised, but the US 
government has worried in the past that companies in China could help 
the Chinese government spy on users."

In other news, 85% of intra-Euro traffic goes through US of A*

So far, the only countries that effectively imposed national borders on 
data traffic are USA, China and (soon to start) Russia. As all belong to 
the nuclear club, I wonder if that's the set from which other data 
sovereignty projects will come. Perhaps it's a pre-requisite.

French?


* due to a brilliant propaganda, attempts to curtail this are widely 
deemed to be "attack on freedoms".
