Il governo americano pensa di poter pretendere la consegna delle mail contenute in server fuori dagli Stati Uniti

Territorio, giurisdizione, giustizia: e internet. Il governo americano pensa di poter pretendere la consegna delle mail contenute in server che stanno fuori dagli Stati Uniti ma gestite da un provider americano. (Guardian). Se la Cina pensasse allo stesso modo che cosa succederebbe?

The United States government has the right to demand the emails of anyone in the world from any email provider headquartered within US borders, Department of Justice (DoJ) lawyers told a federal appeals court on Wednesday.
The case being heard in the second circuit court of appeals is between the US and Microsoft and concerns a search warrant that the government argues should compel Microsoft to retrieve emails held on a Hotmail server in Ireland.
Microsoft contends that the DoJ has exceeded its authority with potentially dangerous consequences. Organizations including Apple, the government of Ireland, Fox News, NPR and the Guardian have filed amicus briefs with the court, arguing the case could set a precedent for governments around the world to seize information held in the cloud. Judges have ruled against the tech company twice.
Counsel for Microsoft contends that the US search warrant should not have been used to compel it to hand over emails stored in Ireland. “This is an execution of law enforcement seizure on their land,” Joshua Rosenkranz, counsel for Microsoft, told the court. “We would go crazy if China did this to us.”
