Report: Slow Surveillance Reform Has Cost U.S. Tech Companies Over $35 Billion

The surveillance revelations have made foreign governments worried that the American companies may also give their citizens‘ data too easily to U.S. law enforcement (PRISM, various „cyber-threat sharing“ programs, etc). This has prompted certain countries to request American companies to keep the data on their own citizens in a local data center. For others, it has also been an excuse to have more local control over those companies as well as their citizens.
