White paper compares government access to cloud data in ten jurisdictions

In the last week, law firm Hogan Lovells released a very interesting white paper on government access to cloud data across ten jurisdictions, mainly focused on debunking many of the myths associated with the USA Patriot Act. The white paper was released in association with a Round Table on Government Access to Data with European policy makers at the Openforum Academy.

More information is available at the Hogan Lovells Chronicle of Data Protection: Hogan Lovells White Paper on Governmental Access to Data in the Cloud Debunks Faulty Assumption That US Access is Unique : HL Chronicle of Data Protection.
