Google must turn over foreign-stored emails pursuant to a warrant, court rules

I wonder what effect this has on international relations and treaties. How will the U.S. government respond when a European Union country's authorities furnish a warrant to Google for information about U.S. persons, using the same precedent?

I find it hard to believe this doesn't conflict with at least one of the treaties the U.S. has signed with the EU.

Doesn't work that way. The thing is as long as the people in the Justice Department get what they want, they are happy. They don't care about you.

Just like the NSA. Once they figure out a 0-day, they use it to hack foreign entities. They won't help fix it by telling the U.S. software company. In other words, they don't care if you get hacked.

None of what you said addresses what I wrote.

U.S. courts are constrained by existing treaties, as long as they are ratified by the U.S. Senate.

Please name a data privacy treaty the U.S. has ratified.
