[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] If your provider is American Head-quartered, your data is and remains American - Where ever it is stored

[Carlton Samuels]

..at least that's how U.S. Magistrate Thomas Reuter sitting in PHL (it is
within the 3rd Circuit of Appeal jurisdiction) sees it right now.

  * "The Government urges this court to depart from the Second Circuit's
reasoning in Microsoft and compel disclosure by Google of the relevant
electronic data. See Gov't Reply at 3-25. The Government argues that the
Microsoft decision is incorrect, inconsistent with the weight of authority,
not binding on this court, and should not be followed. For the reasons that
follow, this court concludes that compelling Google to disclose to the
Government the data that is the subject of the warrants does not constitute
an unlawful extraterritorial application of the Act."*

The opinion is embedded in a link in the first line of the story.
