Summary: ZDNet's USA PATRIOT Act series

Summary

ZDNet’s USA PATRIOT Act series: A summary of four extensively detailed posts, of how the Act can access data held outside the United States.

This executive summary recaps a series of posts and a year’s worth of research on how the USA PATRIOT ACT impacts cross-border clouds, and considers whether data is safe from the risk of interception or unwarranted searches by U.S. authorities; even European protected data.

Although this is a U.S.-oriented site and I am a British citizen, the issues I surface here affect all readers, whether living and working inside or outside the United States.
