If you're a foreign national on foreign soil with data in us data centers held by us companies I don't believe it's common practice for these companies to require a warrant, fisa or otherwise, to share information with national services.
Consider the case of the NSA warrantless wiretaps. The telcos were voluntarily providing bulk access, there was only a legal issue because US citizens on were involved.
- rdtsc 14y agoDidn't they get around that by deciding that copying the data and storing isn't considered "search", only when a person accesses and looks it when the Constitution starts to get in they of "business". I would pretty much guess that is the purpose of the data storage center NSA is building in Utah -- to just archive everything sent anywhere. It would also seem that when a warrant is obtained it is obtained for historical data and there is no window. So if you commit some act that is deemed dangerous enough to issue an warrant to search your history -- theoretically all your history since birth could be searched. Everything you ever did online that was recorded becomes game.
