Actually, you're right.

If we consider this normal, it would totally be acceptable for Europe to demand a ban or sale of American spying and propaganda tools social media and streaming platforms. Either way, it would reduce the harm they could do - and in the case of a sale, they'd actually have to adhere to consumer friendly laws.

    If it was about protecting citizens interests, PRISM would have been declared illegal and disbanded, not hushed and expanded.
