ANALYSIS: The unresolved privacy battle between law enforcement and big tech is growing.
In December 2015, Syed Farook and his wife went on a terrorism killing spree in San Bernardino, California, that only ended after a blazing gun battle with law enforcement.
In 2018, the Center for Strategic and International Studies released a report which concluded that in the previous year, U.S. law enforcement agencies made more than 130,000 requests for access to digital evidence from six of largest technologies companies in the world alone. The requests were sent to companies like Facebook, Twitter, Apple, Microsoft, Verizon Communications media unit Oath and Google.
Microsoft has argued that data stored on a company server in another country exempts it from an obligation to cooperate with a U.S. law enforcement request for the data. In a statement to Vox, Amazon said it won’t"release customer information without a valid and binding legal demand properly served on us" and that"Amazon objects to overbroad or otherwise inappropriate demands as a matter of course." It didn’t comment on whether the company will hand over the data once it’s served a motion, or if it will challenge the ruling and the status of the Court Ordered request is still unclear. To date, the status the case of the order remains unclear.
While this debate continues, Americans have also watched as multiple data breaches have penetrated the defenses of databases maintained by the U.S. government and large corporations alike.
