In a detailed analysis of the misconceptions related to U.S. government intelligence-gathering for the IAPP Privacy Perspectives blog, Chis Wolf outlines "A Sober Look at National Security Access to Data in the Cloud," a recently published Hogan Lovells white paper comparing U.S. intelligence-gathering under FISA to the practices of five European countries.
