I stand by what I said.... He has plenty of legit things to complain about so why trust any site lying about what he said? Of course you are free to believe the POTUS didn't mean what he actually said. EU slams US over Microsoft privacy case ft.com A US attempt to force Microsoft to hand over emails held on servers in Ireland has drawn a strong rebuke from Brussels in one of the first tests of cross-border privacy raised by cloud computing. The US demand could contravene international law and should have been handled through the official channels normally used for law enforcement between different regions, according to Viviane Reding, vice-president of the European Commission. Microsoft’s argument that the US enforcement order amounted to an illegal attempt to enforce a warrant beyond US borders has now won support in Europe, with Ms Reding weighing in on Microsoft’s side. “The commission’s concern is that the extraterritorial application of foreign laws [and orders to companies based thereon] may be in breach of international law,” she wrote last week in a letter to Sophie in’t Veld, a Dutch member of the European Parliament. She added that the US “may impede the attainment of the protection of individuals guaranteed in the [European] Union”. Rather than trying to force Microsoft to surrender information, she said that the US should have relied on the mutual legal assistance treaties that create a framework for co-operation between law enforcement agencies.
