Default Microsoft leans on US government over NSA

A year after Snowden, Microsoft has unleashed its nastiest lobbying hounds into Washington to demand reform.

According to PC World, Vole is demanding that government search warrants should end at the country's borders.

Redmond is getting a canning overseas because foreign countries, particularly China, do not like the idea of the US government spying on it through American companies.

Writing in his bog, Microsoft's General Counsel Brad Smith said the government needs to address important unfinished business to reduce the technology trust deficit it has created.

Redmond is concerned about government attempts to use search warrants to force companies to turn over contents of communications of non-US customers that are stored exclusively outside the country.

Snowden revealed the government intercepted data in transit across the Internet and hacked links between company data centres which could kill off the US's chance to make any impact in the lucrative Cloud trade.
