Deutsche Telekom Moves Email Traffic In-Country In Wake of PRISM 180
kdryer39 writes "Germany's leading telecom provider announced on Friday that it will only use German servers to handle any email traffic over its systems, citing privacy concerns arising from the recent PRISM leak and its 'public outrage over U.S. spy programs accessing citizens' private messages.' In a related move, DT has also announced that they will be providing email services over SSL to further secure their customers' communications. Sandro Gaycken, a professor of cyber security at Berlin's Free University, said 'This will make a big difference...Of course the NSA could still break in if they wanted to, but the mass encryption of emails would make it harder and more expensive for them to do so.'"

Nonsense, all they have to do is setup some dummy site with some scientific information on it, like it's a bunch of researchers looking for aliens (seti@home) or looking for cures to cancer, etc... and a cute little graphic screensaver client or something people can look at to make them 'feel good' that they are doing 'something useful' - meanwhile it's really all NSA codebreaking that's really going on, and they have one heck of a supercomputer for free (or very little cost).
