用户隐私终占上风 微软胜诉美国司法部  

The US government cannot force Microsoft to give authorities access to the firm's servers located in other countries
a court has ruled. The decision is being seen as a precedent for protecting the privacy of cloud puting services.
The US Department of Justice had wanted to access a server in Ireland
as part of an investigation into a drugs case. The ruling
made by an appeals court
overturns an order granted by a court in Manhattan in 2014.
The DoJ said it was disappointed by the decision and was considering what it would do next. If it appeals
the case could then move to the US Supreme Court.
美国司法部对这一判决表示失望，并且正在考虑接下来的打算。如果司法部上诉的话，这件案子将移交美国最高法院审理。
Microsoft said it weled the ruling.
"It makes clear that the US government can no longer seek to use its search warrants on a unilateral basis to reach into other countries and obtain the emails that belong to people of other nationalities
" Brad Smith
president and chief legal officer
of Microsoft told the BBC.
"It tells people they can indeed trust technology as they move their information to the cloud
" he said.
Microsoft thanked the panies that had backed its appeal
which included the likes of Amazon
Apple and Cisco.
Another of Microsoft's backers was the Open Rights Group
a UK-based anisation that campaigns for digital rights.
"The US Court's decision has upheld the right to individual privacy in the face of the US State's intrusion into personal liberty
" the group's legal director Myles Jackman said. "As a consequence
US law enforcement agencies must respect European citizens' digital privacy rights and the protection of their personal data. States should not arbitrarily reach across borders just because they feel they can bully panies into doing so."
Microsoft had warned that allowing the search warrant to be conducted could open up a global privacy "free for all". Other countries
the pany said
would perhaps seek to apply their own search warrants to servers located in the US.
