Trump news the third

[robkelk]

Trump just signed an executive order that violates an international treaty.

Is that legal?

Because if it is, I'm going to have to move my wiki out of the USA.

Looking at the article Rob, there is a sub clause that states there is an exception to the executive order but it doesn't cover Mexico or Canada.

In theory, therefore – with the Judicial Redress Act law, the attorney general's designations due to become law in less than a week, and the executive order including a clear carve-out for existing law – the situation should be that the Privacy Shield agreement holds. The executive order would then only apply to countries outside the European Union – although Canada and Mexico are notably absent, which may have its own political repercussions

.
    

That makes things less urgent. (My wiki's co-admin is in the EU... but I'm not. However, Miraheze doesn't ask for more than an email address from editors.)

It's still troubling having two tiers of privacy, though.
