- dangerface 7y agoYou are posting a false narrative according to your own link. > UK made illegal copies of classified personal information from a database reserved for members of the passport-free Schengen travel zone. Why?
- tzs 7y agoHis link says that the UK made copies, and that private contractors hired by the UK government such as IBM were given access. IBM, and most other firms that the UK government likely uses as contractors, have offices and data centers in the UK. I didn't notice anywhere in his link that said that anyone moved copies of the data to the US.
