微软总法律顾问布拉德·史密斯(BradSmith)日前在一次科技会议上表示,美国政府索要存储在境外的用户电子邮件的行为,可能吓跑微软及其他美国科技公司的潜在用户。史密斯表示,他一个月前曾在柏林会见过多家企业的技术高管。其中一人出示了美国的一名联邦法官最近下达的判决,该判决要求微软必须提交存储在爱尔兰数据中心里的电子邮件和其他数字信息。这位德国高管表示,除非法官撤销判决,否则他的公司不会信任任何一家美国公司的计算设施,不 Microsoft general counsel Brad Smith said at a technology conference recently that the U.S. government’s request to store user emails outside of the United States could scare away potential users from Microsoft and other U.S. technology companies. Smith said he met with technology executives from several businesses in Berlin a month ago. One of them presented a recent ruling issued by a federal judge in the United States that required Microsoft to submit e-mail and other digital information stored in an Irish data center. The German executive said his company would not trust the computing facilities of any U.S. company unless the judge dropped the verdict.
