You really though that would've gone through? It's strictly against the DPA.

Yes, but British users' information should still be held under the DPA in whatever country it is held in because it's from Britain.

If the server is held over seas (in America or somewhere) then English law has no control over what YouTube does with the information.

Like the Digital Millennium Copyright Act having no control over sites like TPB.

I wasn't even worried anyway all I do is search game montages and funny things I also sometimes watch some fights, nothing to worry about if they handed it over anyway.
