het is godverdomme schandalig dat wikileaks deze documenten moet vrijgeven, ipv de overheid die zijn burgers informeert, en feedback vraagt aan zijn burgers, want de overheid vertegenwoordigt toch zijn burgers, right?
TISA-onderhandelingen: voor alle duidelijkheid, dit staat onafhankelijk van TTIP en TTP. TISA onderhandelingen gaan over services (itt TTIP, die gaat over goederen), en zeer belangrijk, het gaat ook het internet globaal reguleren.
Deze onderhandelingen zijn zelfs nog belangrijker voor ons als burger, aangezien onze economie geëvolueerd is naar een diensteneconomie, en de impact van deze deal gigantisch gaat zijn.

WikiLeaks releases secret TISA docs: The more evil sibling of TTIP and TPP

For example, the question of data flows—specifically the flow of European citizens' personal data to the US—is at the heart of disputes over the EU's proposed Data Retention rules, the Safe Harbour agreement, and TTIP. Here's what Article 2.1 of TISA's e-commerce annexe would impose upon its signatories: "No Party may prevent a service supplier of another Party from transferring, [accessing, processing or storing] information, including personal information, within or outside the Party’s territory, where such activity is carried out in connection with the conduct of the service supplier’s business."
What that means in practice, is that the EU would be forbidden from requiring that US companies like Google or Facebook keep the personal data of European citizens within the EU—one of the ideas currently being floated in Germany. Article 9.1 imposes a more general ban on requiring companies to locate some of their computing facilities in a territory: "No Party may require a service supplier, as a condition for supplying a service or investing in its territory, to: (a) use computing facilities located in the Party’s territory."

Without WikiLeaks, the presence of these far-reaching proposals would not have been revealed until after the agreement had been finalised—at which point, nothing could be done about them, since the text would be fixed. With the publication of these documents, civil society has an opportunity to find out what is being discussed behind those closed doors, and to analyse and discuss the implications.
