L'articolo parla di trattamento dati "under the control of a Germany company as a data trustee" non di mera delocalizzazione. v. anche qui: http://www.prnewswire.co.uk/news-releases/microsoft-announces-plans-to-offe… These new cloud services will be a first of their kind innovation from a global hyper-scale cloud provider, in that access to customer data stored in these new datacenters will be under the control of T-Systems, a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom, an independent German company acting as a data trustee. Microsoft will not be able to access this data without the permission of customers or the data trustee, and if permission is granted by the data trustee, will only do so under its supervision.

Microsoft opta per un data trustee tedesco

by Alessandro Mantelero

Microsoft will host data in Germany to hide it from US spies [...] opening new data centers in Germany will provide a future safeguard against US demands for data. The company has also announced plans for new data centers in the UK, but Germany's data-protection laws are some of the most rigorous in Europe. By placing its data centers under the control of a Germany company as a "data trustee," Microsoft is forcing any requests for information to be routed through Germany authorities. http://www.theverge.com/2015/11/11/9711378/microsoft-german-data-centers-su… Mi pare una prospettiva interessante, che contribuisce a sottolineare come occorra fare distinguo fra le imprese IT statunitensi.

Facebook Vows to Appeal Belgian Ruling on Data Privacy

by Alberto Cammozzo

<http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/11/business/international/facebook-belgium-p…> In Monday’s ruling, a court in Brussels said that Facebook could no longer collect and store online information from people in Belgium who do not have an account with the social network. The court said that Facebook did not have individuals’ consent to gather the information. [] Facebook will face daily fines worth up to $270,000 if it fails to comply with the court’s decision, according to Belgian law. In response, the company said that it had used cookies for more than five years without facing privacy complaints, and that it would now take its case to the Belgian Court of Appeal. But Facebook also said it would take steps to stop collecting online information about people in Belgium who do not use its site by the end of the week. “We are working to minimize any disruption to people’s access to Facebook in Belgium,” Sally Aldous, a company spokeswoman, said in a statement. The case was filed this year by Belgium’s data protection authority, which had balked at changes to Facebook’s terms and conditions that would have given the company greater say over how it collected and used individuals’ online information.

Judge Deals a Blow to N.S.A. Data Collection Program

by Alberto Cammozzo

<http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/10/us/politics/judge-deals-a-blow-to-nsa-pho…> WASHINGTON — A federal judge on Monday partly blocked the National Security Agency’s program that systematically collects Americans’ domestic phone records in bulk just weeks before the agency was scheduled to shut it down and replace it. The judge said the program was most likely unconstitutional. In a separate case challenging the program, a federal appeals court in New York on Oct. 30 had declined to weigh in on the constitutional issues, saying it would be imprudent to interfere with an orderly transition to a replacement system after Nov. 29. <https://ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show_public_doc?2013cv0851-158> Bella la conclusione: “With the government’s authority to operate the bulk telephony metadata program quickly coming to an end, this case is perhaps the last chapter in the judiciary’s evaluation of this particular program’s compatibility with the Constitution. It will not, however, be the last chapter in the ongoing struggle to balance privacy rights and national security interests under our Constitution in an age of evolving technological wizardry.
