Default MicroSoft takes on the U.S. Government

Chief Counsol for Microsoft, Brad Smith writes
Quote:
— Microsoft v. United States of America,
In the Matter of a Warrant to Search a Certain E-Mail Account
Controlled and Maintained by Microsoft Corporation

In one important sense, the issues at stake are even bigger than this. The Government puts at risk the fundamental privacy rights Americans have valued since the founding of the postal service. This is because it argues that, unlike your letters in the mail, emails you store in the cloud cease to belong exclusively to you. Instead, according to the Government, your emails become the business records of a cloud provider. Because business records have a lower level of legal protection, the Government claims it can use a different and broader legal authority to reach emails stored anywhere in the world.
