Nick I think if you look a bit further you will find that it is the EU, or more correctly a number of EU countries, who are now fighting hard to win this battle for data protection. In the past a deal was done, with the backing of the UK, which a number of organisations in Germany, Austria and some other countries are now trying hard to get undone. Germany has been one of the most outspoken countries against US companies exploiting personal data. The EU sometimes does things that the UK wants and still ends up getting bad press for it. Anyway here's a link which can help with more info on what's going on..
