Excellent points. One other thing I'd like to see is a commitment to notify customers to the extent permitted by any court orders and to fight for additional notification rights (as Twitter has done).
We have set-up our corporate structure so that each cloud location is managed by a local company and therefore subject only to that jurisdiction (our holding company is Swiss and unlike US holding companies it has no concept of extra-territorial jurisdiction, if that were to change, we'd change holding company, it is that simple).
IANAL, but this seems a very significant point. However, I wonder if the US claims jurisdiction on the parent company if there's a US-based subsidiary?
- cloudsigma 13y agoThe Patriot act has provisions that can potentially be applied to subsidiaries of US companies abroad but not vice versa. If you think about it it would mean shareholders of companies could be pursued globally under US law just for owning shares in a US company. It's all around a bad situation right now with conflicting sets of rules and that's without a doubt.
