Ars Technica writes about WikiLeaks' release of 17 secret documents from the negotiations of the global Trade in Services Agreement (TISA). If their interpretation is correct,

the EU would be forbidden from requiring that US companies like Google or Facebook keep the personal data of European citizens within the EU

and

Article 6 of the leaked text seems to ban any country from using free software mandates: "No Party may require the transfer of, or access to, source code of software owned by a person of another Party, as a condition of providing services related to such software in its territory."

What more nasty surprises will these negotiations bring?

    I prefer talking to myself because I have more interesting things to say to me than you ever could.

      You shouldn't trust yourself. Have you noticed that you've set up perfect surveillance on yourself? You can even read your thoughts!
