US Supreme Court Case over Legal access to data stored in overseas server farms.

[Raoul Plommer]

They'd be smart to make overseas data inaccessible for the law enforcement
at least on paper, because no one can actually monitor Microsoft et al
whether they respect the decision. If they don't, there will be severe
repercussions for the technology companies involved (Micorsoft, Google, FB,
Twitter etc) and tech companies in other countries and their respective
governments will demand the same rights.
