Microsoft Wants To Let You Know When The Feds Are Snooping In Your Email
Microsoft filed a lawsuit Wednesday, complaining that the feds are violating user's constitutional rights when they request access thousands of user's emails and files and will not allow Microsoft to notify their clients. Apparently the US Department of Justice did not respond to a request to comment. Apparently this focuses the government more easily accessing data, due to people storing data on remote servers instead of their own personal computers. The article states that this lawsuit represents the newest front in the battle between
technology companies and the U.S. government over how much private
businesses should assist government surveillance. Microsoft is now taking a more prominent role in this alongside Apple who is already embattled over the government's access to people's personal devices. It is good to see that these corporations are taking this stuff seriously and considering the consumer's rights, since the government seems to be taking advantage of the rapid growth and people's unawareness.
