Cloud data privacy for businesses unclear after Supreme Court drops Microsoft case
The case led to the CLOUD Act, which requires tech companies comply with court orders for data stored in the US and overseas.
After the passage of the CLOUD Act, the federal government attained a new warrant, which replaced the original warrant served on Microsoft in 2013. The court concluded Tuesday that there is no longer a “live dispute” between the US and Microsoft based on the legal changes, and directed the district court to dismiss the case.
