tl;dr:
Gmail(USA) required to provide data of persons in the USA, of communications between people in the USA orded by a USA judge.
Sounds fine with me, even when Google has it hosted in some other country, this seems to me a fine example of correct usage of the law and jurisdiction
- simplicio 10y agoYea, it seems like if they found the other way, every sizable corporation, or really any sizable group, would host all their data in the Cayman Islandsor wherever, making them more or less immune from US subpoenas. Which would be bad for any attempt to hold them legally accountable (and, relevant to the HN crowd, bad for Tech workers in the US as storage providers move their facilities over-seas).
- Sir_Substance 10y ago>bad for Tech workers in the US as storage providers move their facilities over-seas Great for the rest of the world's rights though!
- kevindqc 10y agoWhy are they even storing this USA data outside of the USA? Seems weird to me, no?
- taormina 10y agoI'd bet its cheaper.
