Legal jurisdiction applies where the government says it does

When it comes down to it, it's all about force -- who can apply it to whom. Google could have its data on the moon and the Brazilian government could legally force them to give it up, provided the Brazilian courts agreed and they could apply enough force to Google. Google's only way around that is to cease operations in Brazil.

Re: Legal jurisdiction applies where the government says it does

your correct... it's about force...

Now, did the governements get the data in an encryped format; and keep it that way?

I doubt it. Bet the data these companies are giving to the g'ments will find it's way into the wild... won't that be luverly?
