@andrew @privacyguides Yes they can.However:1. The US Privacy Act applies only to US citizens only. Anyone else is automatically free for all. US intelligence agencies happily exercise this right and collect and disseminate all information of non-citizens.2. I trust Finnish authorities more than US ones, especially the current US administration. It wasn't great before either, but now the rights bestowed to them are being abused to cater for any whims of the deranged leader. The current administration has house, senate and the supreme court. There's absolutely no recourse or any legal avenue in case of abuse, even for US citizens, and definitely not for anyone who is non-citizen.So yeah, not the same thing from my perspective.
