<div>Well, I speak German, and I understand Mrs Merkel to be concerned with national or even European (Schengen, rather) traffic to no longer being routed via the US and/or the UK, for that matter. </div><div><br></div><div>I seem to understand her not having an issue with traffic to foreign destinations being routed through wherever the infrastructure is fastest, cheapest, and in particular not having issues with traffic to the US being routed through the US, or UK traffic through the UK, as she is not (so much) concerned with the internal affairs of these countries and the German constitution with its strong protection of privacy (even informational privacy) doesn't apply in these cases. </div><div><br></div><div>I haven't read the following, but I am absolutely certain that she has no issues with traffic from the US, UK or foreign countries to the US, UK or foreign countries being routed through European infrastructure, in particular if German Intelligence service can deeply inspect the traffic.</div><div><br></div><div>So, what we are talking here is nothing but Internet Exchanges.
