The battleground? Data privacy. At issue is the question of whether U.S. law enforcement can use a search warrant \u2014 in this case, in a drug investigation \u2014 to force the U.S.-based technology company to turn over emails it has stored in a data center in Ireland. Lower courts have sided with the government, and held Microsoft in contempt for refusing to comply with the search warrant. Microsoft has appealed, arguing that its data center is subject to Irish and European privacy laws and outside the jurisdiction of U.S. authorities. Civil liberties and internet-privacy advocates are watching the case closely, as are company and law-enforcement lawyers. They\u0027re also watching another case, also involving a drug investigation, in which Apple was served with a court order instructing it to turn over text messages between iPhone owners\u2026. \u201cThis way, the companies don\u2019t open up the device,\u201d says\u0026nbsp;\u003Cstrong\u003EPeter Swire\u003C\/strong\u003E, an expert on computer security at \u003Cstrong\u003EGeorgia Tech \u003C\/strong\u003Ewho served on President Obama\u2019s task force on surveillance and cybersecurity.\u0026nbsp;\u201cThe companies don\u2019t have access to the content between Alice and Bob.\u201d If the company that made the device, or is carrying the communication on its network, can\u2019t eavesdrop on users like Alice and Bob, he says, the FBI and other outside parties can\u2019t either.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.marketplace.org\/topics\/tech\/encryption-and-privacy-top-priorities-tech-firms\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003ERead more in Marketplace\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThe Justice Department and Microsoft battle in court over data privacy -- whether U.S. law enforcement can use a search warrant to obtain emails stored in an overseas data center.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Marketplace report"}],"uid":"27490","created_gmt":"2015-09-09 20:53:57","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:19:29","author":"Tara La Bouff","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2015-09-09T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2015-09-09T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"446131":{"id":"446131","type":"image","title":"IISP - data privacy image","body":null,"created":"1449256217","gmt_created":"2015-12-04 19:10:17","changed":"1475895187","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:53:07","alt":"IISP - data privacy image","file":{"fid":"203202","name":"istock_000067318595_double.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/istock_000067318595_double_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/istock_000067318595_double_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":3146478,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/istock_000067318595_double_0.jpg?itok=qsTFUF07"}}},"media_ids":["446131"],"groups":[{"id":"430601","name":"Institute for Information Security and Privacy"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
