   Earth to Jack.   
   The Tinyurl link and info has little, if anything to do with MSFT.   
      
   But since you hijacked the purpose of the op's post to another topic and   
   lacking valid information, see below for your educational purposes.   
      
   Content vs. Non-Content Data: For user content (e.g., email, OneDrive   
   files), Microsoft ***requires a warrant***, not just a subpoena.   
      
   Customer Notification: Microsoft attempts to notify users when their data   
   is requested, fighting against "gag orders" that prevent informing customers.   
      
   Legal Challenges: The company has historically challenged government   
   attempts to access user data, including fighting for the right to inform   
   cloud customers of investigations.   
      
   Enterprise Data: For business customers, Microsoft often redirects law   
   enforcement to request data directly from the customer rather than Microsoft.   
      
   Data Location: Microsoft has argued that US warrants should not apply to   
   data stored in foreign jurisdictions.   
      
   No "Backdoor" Access: Microsoft does not provide any government with   
   direct or unfettered access to customer data.
