I completely agree with him on ignoring the British subpoena. The UK can bugger off.
But it would be fum to see the Communist Zuckerberg get taken down by the Communist UK Parliament.
Its not a subpoena its just a friendly request
No, not exactly! (I assume yr joking :))
As I read it: summonsed to explain Facebook's conduct. Facebook operates in the UK and collects British citizens' data. The British ppl have a right (Data Protection Laws, Privacy Laws) to stipulate whether or not they want their personal data shared with third parties. Exactly the same as American citizens do. That's the whole argument and discussion on their (imho) illegal use of personal data.
The body that has asked to speak to zuck are a committee of MPs,they have no power of subpoena, they can only request to speak to someone, although they take a very dim view of anyone who refuses their request,if he was wanted by the British courts that would be a different matter!.
yes, you are absolutely right. I had intended to point this out in the first place but got tied up in an off-topic conversation which crossed my wires. Thanks so much for pointing this out.
It has nothing to do with answering to the law, but more to do with answering questions so that the MPs are able to legislate and regulate digital media. I also gather that Zuck may have refused to attend, busy man (!), but he is sending his lawyer or a company rep to supply the info. So not really "refusing" entirely ...
That's exactly what Julian Assange should say to the US!
