Germany and France Discussed a US Free Internet

The recent rumors confirm that the plans to fire the United States as the supreme overload of the Internet are well underway with the Germans and the French revealing they are plotting something. Speculation started to filter out a few days ago, but German Chancellor Angela Merkel has just announced she would talk to French President Francois Hollande about creating a European communication network in order to avoid emails and other information passing through the US.

Angela Merkel has been pushing for greater information protection in Europe following 2013 reports about mass surveillance in her country. The United States really made a huge mistake when it tried to get away with tapping Chancellor’s own mobile phone. Angela Merkel wasn’t surprised that both Google and Facebook based their operations in countries with reportedly low levels of information protection while being active in such countries as Germany – the ones with high data protection.

Merkel said she was going to discuss with France about how both Germany and France could maintain a high level of information protection. She admitted her plans were to talk about EU providers offering security for European citizens, so that people shouldn’t have to send all data across the Atlantic. In other words, Merkel wants to create a communication network inside Europe. Perhaps it wouldn’t stop US hacking, but still ensure that European data legislation would be sacrosanct.

The office of the French president confirmed that the governments had been discussing the issue and said France agreed with Germans’ proposals. Berlin has been pushing (so far in vain) for a “no-spy” agreement with the United States, but the Americans insist that they own the worldwide web, and therefore don’t want to listen to anybody.
