    this just more spin and media just spits it out. Alot of countries they won’t be able to even get the user infomation. look how well it’s worked in the us. The media keeps saying that 18000 jave been sued lets just assume thats the real number. 18000 people have not been sued it’s 18000 have been subpoenaed thats not the same as lawsuits i’m sure most them just dismissed for whatever reason.
