The senate on Thursday gave the thumbs up to a bill that is the subject of both support by tech companies and critique by privacy groups.
The United States Senate on Thursday approved a controversial cross-border data access act, dubbed the CLOUD Act, that was part of the overall omnibus government spending bill.
Buried on page 2,201 of the government spending bill is the Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data Act (the CLOUD Act), a provision that sets rules for how the government should handle accessing personal data that is stored by tech platforms abroad. For the US specifically, the bill would permit law enforcement to access citizens’ information that is stored on systems in a different country, given that they have a US court-approved subpoena.
