Microsoft to Holder: "Personally Take Action" to Let Company Disclose How It Responds to NSA Data Requests
Attorney general's busy bullying states over their self-defense laws
Microsoft has written to the US attorney general, Eric Holder, calling on him to "personally take action" to permit the software giant and others to share more information about the way they handle national security requests for customer data.
The move comes after the Guardian published details of the extent of the co-operation between Microsoft and the National Security Agency (NSA), revealed in documents obtained by whistleblower Edward Snowden.
