FISAA legalizes surveillance of EU citizens and their cloud data, claims study

Setting aside the also poorly-known fact that the U.S. Patriot Act effectively allows U.S. authorities to access cloud data belonging to Europeans and stored in European Union datacenters, it's bad news that the newly renewed FISAA can also be used in a similar way.

Under the Act in question, all the data stored in U.S. cloud services - including, of course, that of giants such as Google, Amazon and Microsoft - by non-American could be accessed by U.S. agencies if the companies in question have a presence in the EU - and most, if not all, do.

To do this, the U.S. authorities need only get a secret court to issue a secret surveillance order, and hand it over to the companies. Bound by U.S. law, the companies are and will be forced to comply.
