Microsoft is suing the Department of Justice over its requests to access customer data stored in the cloud, expanding the fight between US technology companies and Washington over privacy concerns. 微软公司(Microsoft)于是以就美国司法部(DoJ)提供存储在云端的客户数据的拒绝向该部驳回诉讼，此举不断扩大了美国科技公司与美国政府在隐私问题上的对付。Microsoft’s lawsuit takes aim at the DoJ’s practice of issuing “secrecy orders” that ban Microsoft from telling customers when their information is being accessed by the government. It names Loretta Lynch, the US Attorney General, as a defendant. 微软公司的诉讼将目标对准司法部公布“保密命令”的作法，这种作法禁令微软公司告诉客户：政府于是以提供他们的信息。微软公司将美国司法部长洛蕾塔林奇(Loretta Lynch)列入被告之一。

Microsoft says this practice, which is legal under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, violates its customers’ Fourth Amendment right to know when they are being searched and violates Microsoft’s First Amendment right to speak about these investigations. 微软公司回应，根据《电子通信隐私法》(Electronic Communications Privacy Act)归属于合法的这种作法，侵害了其客户根据美国宪法《第四修正案》(Fourth Amendment)对于自己被搜查的知情权，同时侵害了微软公司根据美国宪法《第一修正案》(First Amendment)告诉这些调查的权利。“People do not give up their rights when they move their private information from physical storage to the cloud,” the lawsuit states. The DoJ did not immediately respond to a request for comment. 诉状称之为：“当人们将自己的私人信息从物理存储器移往到云端时，他们没退出自己的权利。”美国司法部没立刻对置评催促作出对此。

The lawsuit comes at a time of growing public debate over how the US government should be able to access electronic records. Apple fought the FBI’s demand for special software to access the iPhone of one of the San Bernardino terrorists, until the FBI found another way to unlock the device. 有关美国政府不应如何提供电子数据的公开发表辩论正在加剧。苹果(Apple)曾对付美国联邦调查局(FBI)明确提出的拒绝该公司获取类似软件关卡圣贝纳迪诺(San Bernardino)惧袭案的案犯之一的iPhone的作法，最后FBI通过别的途径关卡了那部手机。Microsoft said the practice of issuing search warrants with secrecy orders had become more common as more customers move to cloud computing. “The government...has exploited the transition to cloud computing as a means of expanding its power to conduct secret investigations,” the filing said. 微软公司回应，随着更加多用户使用云计算，收到保密命令的作法显得更加广泛。

诉状称之为：“政府……利用客户将信息移往到云计算，不断扩大了其进行秘密调查的权力。” Over the past 18 months, courts have issued more than 5,000 demands for customer information to Microsoft, around half of which contain secrecy orders. Of those, two-thirds have no fixed end-date, meaning that a user might never find out their information had been searched. 过去18个月，法庭向微软公司收到了逾5000项调查客户信息的拒绝，其中大约一半所含保密命令。其中三分之二没相同累计期限，这意味著，用户有可能总有一天无法发现自己的信息遭了搜查。
