Feds: Google stops challenging most US warrants for data on overseas servers

What a crappy potential violation of the sovereignty of my country (Ireland) and others where Google holds data. It&#x27;s a stupid and unnecessary slippery slope of extraterritorial power by the US. We and most other countries were Google has data centres, already have proven legal arrangements for coperation with the US.<p>I hope dozens of countries start issuing extraterratorial warrants for data that forces US companies to hand over data held in the US. Lets see what happens then...the sooner the resultant outcry and general clusterf*ck happens and this issue is binned, the better.

&gt; Google, in a statement, told Ars that it supported recently introduced legislation (PDF) authorizing Internet service providers to surrender overseas data with a warrant.<p>Wait.... thats even worse than &quot;stop challenging&quot;. Yes, clarifying that it must be done with a warrant is nice, but this doesn&#x27;t solve the problem they were challenging which was that the seizure orders can often conflict with the laws of the areas where the data is.
