EFF to Court: U.S. Warrants Don't Apply to Overseas Emails

EFF to Court: U.S. Warrants Don't Apply to Overseas Emails Microsoft Fights to Protect Data Held on Servers in Ireland San Francisco - The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has urged a federal court to block a U.S. search warrant ordering Microsoft to turn over a customer's emails held in an overseas server, arguing that the case has dangerous privacy implications for Internet users everywhere. The case started in December of last year, when a magistrate judge in New York signed a search warrant seeking records and emails from a Microsoft account in connection with a criminal investigation. However, Microsoft determined that the emails the government sought were on a Microsoft server in Dublin, Ireland. Because a U.S. judge has no authority to issue warrants to search and seize property or data abroad, Microsoft refused to turn over the emails and asked the magistrate to quash the warrant. But the magistrate denied Microsoft's request, ruling there was no foreign search because the data would be reviewed by law enforcement agents in the U.S. Microsoft appealed the decision. In an amicus brief in support of Microsoft, EFF argues the magistrate's rationale ignores the fact that copying the emails is a "seizure" that takes place in Ireland. "The Fourth Amendment protects from unreasonable search and seizure. You can't ignore the 'seizure' part just because the property is digital and not physical," said EFF Staff Attorney Hanni Fakhoury. "Ignoring this basic point has dangerous implications - it could open the door to unfounded law enforcement access to and collection of data stored around the world." The government has argued that allowing a U.S. judge to order the collection of data stored abroad is necessary, because international storage would make it easy for U.S. Internet companies to avoid complying with search warrants. But Microsoft asserts that the government's legal theory could hurt U.S. technology companies that are trying to do business internationally. Additionally, EFF argues in its amicus brief that the government's approach hurts Internet users globally, as it would allow the U.S. to obtain electronic records stored abroad without complying with mutual assistance treaty obligations or other nations' own laws. "Microsoft is doing the right thing by pushing back here. It's great to see a tech giant fighting for its customers," said Fakhoury. For the full brief in this case: https://www.eff.org/document/eff-amicus-brief-support-microsoft For this release: https://www.eff.org/press/releases/eff-court-us-warrants-dont-apply-oversea… About EFF The Electronic Frontier Foundation is the leading organization protecting civil liberties in the digital world.

Internet Companies fighting back to retain control of customer data (and competitiveness)
by Ali Hussein 13 Jun '14

13 Jun '14

Listers Internet Giants are fighting back their governments' request for data and access to their networks in the wake of Snowdenia. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/07/technology/internet-giants-erect-barriers… This is a natural reaction to the fact that most of these companies have seen a significant decline in customer confidence regarding their ability to maintain integrity of their data. Cisco for example has seen it lose market share in Asia and Europe because of perceived NSA installed back doors to their routers. This is an interesting lesson on how government action can detrimentally affect private sector competitiveness.
