Tired of winning yet?
Because of this failure, U.S. and foreign police will have new mechanisms to
seize data across the globe. Because of this failure, your private emails,
your online chats, your Facebook, Google, Flickr photos, your Snapchat videos,
your private lives online, your moments shared digitally between only those
you trust, will be open to foreign law enforcement without a warrant and with
few restrictions on using and sharing your information. Because of this
failure, U.S. laws will be bypassed on U.S. soil.
As we wrote before, the CLOUD Act is a far-reaching, privacy-upending piece of
legislation that will:
Enable foreign police to collect and wiretap people's communications from U.S.
companies, without obtaining a U.S. warrant. Allow foreign nations to demand
personal data stored in the United States, without prior review by a judge.
Allow the U.S. president to enter "executive agreements" that empower police
in foreign nations that have weaker privacy laws than the United States to
seize data in the United States while ignoring U.S. privacy laws. Allow
foreign police to collect someone's data without notifying them about it.
Empower U.S. police to grab any data, regardless if it's a U.S. person's or
not, no matter where it is stored.
