Proposed UK legislation governing UK law enforcement investigatory powers (together with differences in approach by the UK and rest of Europe to law enforcement access to personal data) will have a deep and far reaching impact on technology and communications businesses, and not just those in the UK.

Bloomberg BNA
It’s time to worry about outages in cloud computing and the consequences for company data stored in the cloud.
