Much of the reaction to recent revelations of NSA surveillance activity has
focused on the privacy implications for U.S. and foreign citizens and
possible ramifications for U.S. international relations and national
security. Yet the disclosure of the PRISM program – which the NSA used to
collect e-mails, social media content, and other Internet traffic – set off
a firestorm that threatens to engulf Silicon Valley boardrooms as well.
American tech companies face two significant challenges. First, they could
soon be caught in a Catch-22 arising out of contradictory legal systems on
either side of the Atlantic. Second, they face the prospect of a declining
market share as portions of their customer base seek out providers deemed to
be less exploitable by U.S. intelligence agencies. |
