A judge in the US has ordered
Microsoft to hand over a customer's emails, even though the data is held in
Ireland.
The company had attempted to challenge the search warrant on the basis that
the information was stored exclusively on computer servers outside the US.
Microsoft previously
said it planned to offer business and government clients control over where
their data resided.
This followed concerns about data privacy raised by whistleblower Edward
Snowden's leaks about US spying.
But the ruling potentially undermines that pledge.
