German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Saturday she would talk to French President Francois Hollande about building up a European communication network to avoid emails and other data passing through the United States. Remember that time those two got together without the US? It didn't work out too well

What's the use of a European internet with all computers running OSes made in USA, and all network hardware being manufactured in USA? Or China - is that better?
And with many US companies having offices in Europe, even US armed forces in Europe, and thus being part of that network - isn't that a secret network with the "enemy" already listening inside?
Totally useless.

It's a brain fuzz, at first. At second, the laws of the country of the server location are applicable, and therefore an European intranet may be of use when trying to fight cyber crime (or privacy infringement), at least within the European borders. Let's be honest, companies could just relocate servers to European countries, and achieve the same effect.

I do like the comment by pgbd:
"Every time the vast superiority of innovative US technology comes up with another new product, the Europeans seek helplessly for a way to combat it instead of coming up with a few inventions of their own."

If Narcissistic, Machiavellian, psychopathic sadists are bad people, then why do they have the highest earning potential?

That implies earning potential might play a role in people being good-bad.
