Privacy fears as government allowed to take data on suspects from Apple and Google cloud servers

Privacy fears as government allowed to take data on suspects from Apple and Google cloud servers | Mail Online: "Campaigners raised fears that a renewed piece of American legislation allows federal agencies to spy on foreign nationals without warning by hacking into cloud-based servers. Now because of the renewal of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), the U.S. government granted itself the right to spy on anyone using the internet storage facilities provided by American companies.This move means that any non-American who opts to store data on the cloud services that are used by the likes of Amazon, Google, and Apple, opens themselves up to investigation by the federal authorities."
