Most of the European Union’s anger at NSA and British surveillance has focused on them spying on diplomats and constant surveillance of government officials. That’s just the beginning though.
Germany fears that the NSA also used their widespread data interception as an opportunity to steal industrial secrets from German corporations, and indeed there’s no reason to think that the NSA would stop there since they seem to be spying on literally everything else.
It’s not just the risk of NSA contractors turning over industrial secrets to US competitors. The US government has a history of sabotaging German companies’ products, as with the Stuxnet computer worm, which targeted industrial computers sold by Siemens, a German company.
With the US eager to conduct such attacks, and Iran having done business with European corporations when the US forbade its own from doing so, officials may even have the pretext of gathering information on Iran’s capabilities as a justification for stealing EU corporate data. Whatever the reason, the risk of abuse isn’t going to sit well with European officials.
RIght now the Israelis are in the catbird and driver's seats, having provided technology to build the system. So, for all intents and purposes it has been a technological boon for them as well.
USA is losing its economic power everywhere, so what els did the Germans think that USA is spying on EU for….., the not so Angel Angela Markell privet life.., they all ready know that., the french new cheesy, they all ready know that, the terrorists that are flying the Turkish Air line or for that matter emirates air line to Istanbul and then sent to fight the Syrian people.., they also know that. The US spying on the EU is a personal message from Obama.., don't even think about not cooperating with us in Africa like you did in Libya.
Nobody can trust the US anymore – militarily or commercially.
USA government so as the British "government" of any "kind" never was a trust worthy and should not be trusted for any reason.
Encrypt all "sensitive" electronic communications. You won't know (until it is too late) who is monitoring the servers through which your electronic files and messages pass or on which that data rests. Part of the problem is that most of us do not have the technical knowledge required to install and use the tools that are available to do the encryption and those tools usually cost more that we are willing to spend. The bigger challenge is convincing those with whom we communicate to use the same encryption tools. If you want to explore the possibilities, Google "private secure encrypted" to see several options, some of which are free and easy-to-use.
