According to foreign media reports, the technology giants such as Apple, Google and Amazon recently announced support for Microsoft, against the United States Government to user e-mail, the implementation of the so-called "secret search warrants."
Microsoft and its supporters argue that, if the consumer does not believe that their data will remain private, mobile and cloud computing's future will be in jeopardy. 11 technology companies including Google, said in a document submitted to the court Friday, federal law allows "far greater than any need to restrict search", it would be a violation of people's basic rights.
File: "secret searches for residential is actually to identify the tangible stuff, and are subject to certain restrictions in the law. But if the Government is allowed to search the personal data stored in the cloud, without notifying the account owner's own data is being investigated, it will be completely different. ”
Delta Airlines, United Kingdom oil companies United States Branch, United States Chamber of Commerce and other companies, also were asked to join the case to support Microsoft. They say that if privacy cannot be protected, the benefits of cloud computing will not be achieved. Some of these companies are Microsoft's customers, including Eli Lilly & Co, GlaxoSmithKline Plc, etc. Twitter is also considering to join the fray.
United States Department of Justice, the Attorney-laoruita·linqi (Loretta Lynch) and their supporters for "secret search warrants" defence, they said it would take digital tools to help deal with the increasingly sophisticated criminals and terrorists, these people are using technology to communicate and hidden tracks. Justice Department spokeswoman make·aboge (Mark Abueg) did not immediately respond to the technology company to support Microsoft's actions.
In July in response to Microsoft's lawsuit, the Government said, Microsoft had no right to sue, not entitled to found searches and confiscation of assets violates the constitutional rights of its users. Microsoft asked the Court to award thousands of Government and dispute-related cases, not taking into account the particularities of each case.
Apple said in the documents, in practice, the Government uses "secret search warrants," the frequency and an almost infinite number of times, because of its "endpoint" is not clear from the outset. In 2016, Apple says it has received nearly 600 "secret search warrants." Fox News Network LLC, associated press and 27 other news organizations also joined the case on Friday to submit files, they allow e-mail users to use secret warrants violated their right to freedom of expression.
United States Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, privacy organizations are also seeking to submit so-called "amicus curiae" file to support Microsoft's position. Microsoft Chief lawyer Brad Smith (Brad Smith) said in a statement via e-mail: "we believe that the constitutional rights of the public in this lawsuit is very important. When their message that the Government search, they should have the right to know, unless you really need the secret search. ”
Microsoft has with the United States Government insist on privacy issue for 2 years. In July, Microsoft persuaded the Court of Appeal overturned the earlier ruling, that is, asking them to store in Ireland on the server e-mail to government agencies. Previously, Microsoft says that the electronic communications Privacy Act of 1986 in violation of the Constitution, based on their own first amendment right to free speech and customers enjoyed the fourth amendment right to Government searches and the confiscation of their assets, they should be notified. While the United States Government believes that, in accordance with the law, if you encounter a dangerous situation, United States Government in the case of secret search warrants, secret access to people's electronic communications.
Industry research by Bloomberg (Bloomberg Intelligence) analyst mate·laersen (Matt Larson) said that since the former CIA employee and security contractor aidehua·sinuodeng (Edward Snowden) exposing United States surveillance scandal, global United States monitoring vigilance increased significantly. Now, many companies need to show consumers the protection of its security interests and abilities.
Larsson added: "Microsoft wants to be able to tell their customers, these types of programs can be used to protect their privacy. For Microsoft, the end result is at least forcing the Ministry of justice while trying to obtain secret warrants and review procedures. "Microsoft announced that, as of April, the company has received 5,600 federal agencies requiring access to customer data. Among them, 2,600 times have a secret search warrants against Microsoft said search operations to affected customers.
Microsoft's supporters included 4 former Washington State Attorney General, the FBI responsible for Seattle branch of the former agent. They think "secret search warrants" violate the Constitution, because to obtain a search warrant is not published, necessary function is equal to offset the search warrant, search warrant request to search the target is notified.
微软公开反对美国政府“秘密搜查令”，

据外媒报道，苹果、谷歌以及亚马逊等科技巨头日前公开宣布支持微软，反对美国政府对用户电子邮件执行所谓的“秘密搜查令”。
微软及其支持者们认为，如果消费者不相信他们的数据依然能够保持私有，那么移动和云计算的未来将陷入危险。包括谷歌在内的11家科技公司周五在向法庭递交的文件中称，若联邦法律允许“远超过任何必要限制的搜查”，这将侵犯人们的基本权利。
文件中称：“政府对住宅进行秘密搜查实际上是对有形的东西进行辨别，且在法律上也受到一定限制。可是如果允许政府对储存在云端的个人数据进行搜查，而不通知账户主人自己的数据正被调查，这将完全不同。”
三角洲航空公司、英国石油公司美国分公司、美国商会以及其他多家公司，也都要求加入此案力挺微软。他们称，如果隐私权无法受到保护，云计算带来的好处将无法实现。这些公司有些本身就是微软客户，包括Eli Lilly & Co、GlaxoSmithKline Plc等。Twitter也在考虑加入战团。
美国司法部、总检察长劳瑞塔·林奇（Loretta Lynch）以及他们的支持者则为“秘密搜查令”辩护，他们称需要数字工具来帮助对付日益复杂的犯罪分子和恐怖分子，这些人正利用技术沟通和隐藏行踪。司法部发言人马克·阿伯格(Mark Abueg)没有立即对科技公司力挺微软的行动作出回应。
在7月份回应微软提出的诉讼时，政府称微软没有权利提出起诉，无权认定搜索和没收资产是否侵犯了宪法赋予其用户的权利。政府认为微软要求法庭裁决数以千计与争端相关的案例，没有考虑到每起案件的特殊性。
苹果在文件中表示，政府在实践中利用“秘密搜查令”的频率和次数近乎无限，因为其“端点”从一开始就不够明确。2016年，苹果宣称已经收到近600次“秘密搜查令”。福克斯新闻网有限责任公司、美联社以及其他27家新闻机构也在周五分别递交的文件中加入此案，他们称允许对电子邮件用户使用秘密搜查令侵犯了他们的言论自由权。
美国公民自由联盟（ACLU）与电子前沿基金会等隐私权组织也寻求递交所谓的“法庭之友”文件，以支持微软的立场。微软首席律师官布拉德·史密斯（Brad Smith）通过电子邮件发表声明称：“我们认为，在这起诉讼中宪法赋予公众的权利非常重要。当自己的邮件受到政府搜查时，他们应该有权知道，除非真的需要秘密搜查。”
微软已经与美国政府就隐私权问题对峙了2年。7月份时，微软说服上诉法庭推翻了此前一项裁决，即要求其将储存在爱尔兰服务器上的电子邮件交给政府机构。此前，微软称1986年《电子通信隐私法案》违反宪法，根据其自己享有的《第一修正案》言论自由权和客户享有的《第四修正案》知情权，政府搜查或没收他们的资产时，他们都应该获得通知。而美国政府认为，按照这些法律规定，如果遇到危险情况，美国政府在持有秘密搜查令的情况下，可以秘密获得相关人员的电子通信内容。
彭博行业研究(Bloomberg Intelligence)分析师马特·拉尔森（Matt Larson）表示，自从前CIA雇员和安全承包商爱德华·斯诺登（Edward Snowden）曝光美国监控丑闻后，全球对美国监控行为的警惕性大幅增加。现在，许多公司都需要向消费者展示出其拥有保护内容安全的兴趣和能力。
拉尔森还说：“微软希望能够告诉其客户，这些类型的程序将可用于保护他们的隐私。对于微软来说，最终结果至少要迫使司法部在试图获得秘密搜查令时，重新审视程序。”微软宣称，截止到4月份，该公司已经收到5600次联邦机构请求，要求获得客户数据。其中，2600次有秘密搜查令，以防微软向受影响客户透露搜查行动。
微软的支持者包括华盛顿州的4名前总检察长、负责FBI西雅图分支的前特工。他们认为“秘密搜查令”违反宪法，因为取得搜查令却不公布，等于抵消了搜查令的必要功能，搜查令要求对被搜查目标发出通知。
