online sales of george orwell's "1984" have spiked in the wake of the surveillance program from the u.sational security agency used to spy on people. the scandal affects europe in particular. the u.s. is reportedly monitoring 2 million data set and france, and in germany, the figure stands at 10 million. even the european parliament has apparently been targeted. members of the parlor tarik -- parliamentary institution in sweden spoke about it. >> we need to cancel safe harbor agreements with the united states now. they also need to make the decisions not to enter into trade negotiations for someone who clearly shows no remorse at backstabbing his country, and initially -- additionally, we need member state governments to show the political courage to stay with the public interests of european citizens. >> the scandal leads as european parliament continues its discussions on personal data. the biggest issue lies in making companies adhere to stricter legislation. online privacy is indeed a matter of urgency.
