Re "Listening In on Europe" (editorial, July 3):
I disagree that Europe's reaction to the recent revelations is "overblown." While it is true that nations — even allied nations — will always spy on each other, the disparity in technological capacity has reached a point where countries such as Germany are, metaphorically speaking, bringing a knife to a gunfight.
And while, as you point out, the operations have been legal under American law, German law on data espionage has likely been broken, literally millions of times. To avoid a global cyber arms race, a new body of international treaties should be created to limit these kinds of activities.
Until then, as a symbolic gesture, European countries should stop cooperating with the United States on data exchange programs such as bank transfer and passenger record information.
