+ <h3>15-9-2013: NSA follows the Money</h3>
+ <p>Despite the EU allowing the NSA access to financial transaction data to
+ track terrorists and organized crime, the NSA saw it necessary to
+ target international payment processors including SWIFT and Visa.
+ As terrorism and organized crime are covered by legal means, industrial
+ espionage to improve the US economy is the only remaining US national
+ interest within the NSA's mandate that would explain this illegal activity.<br>
+ With Taler, exchanges will only learn the value of a merchant's transactions,
+ not who paid or for what (governments may learn what was sold). Thus,
+ the Taler exchange is a significantly less interesting target for industrial
+ espionage.
