Re: Bullshit Alert

If those records are being kept in servers on US soil, then they are absolutely in scope and will remain so. Further, if the Patriot act is invoked to get at those records, nobody outside of Amazon will be told.

However, if those records are encrypted and the keys aren't available to Amazon, then what the government would get is a bunch of encrypted data.

And how are the keys not going to be in the cloud servers delivering the applications?

And the CLOUD act says US agencies must have access to any data available to any US corporation, no matter where it resides.
