I believe this is the relevant thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5854813 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5854813 Its a bit short on specifics though. I'd like to know which laws give the US access to data held on servers that are physically outside its jurisdiction. What happens when they are in conflict with local laws (e.g. EU privacy laws)? I though there were international agreements covering this.
