Cloud Act

 

On October 3, 2019, the United States and the United Kingdom entered into a first-of-its-kind executive agreement under the CLOUD Act. The text of the agreement was released on October 7, 2019.

For a fine overview of the provisions of the agreement, Jennifer Daskal and Peter Swire posted a summary on Lawfare, identifying some surprising provisions and others that fall a little flat. But there is a big flaw in the agreement that hasn’t been discussed — it allows either the US or UK to require a covered provider to wiretap a user located not in the US or UK, but in any third country, without the approval of that sovereign nation and perhaps even without its knowledge.

Evensong “Lullabye (Goodnight, my angel)”

Goodnight my angel, time to close your eyes
And save these questions for another day
I think I know what you’ve been asking me
I think you know what I’ve been trying to say
I promised I would never leave you
Then you should always know
Wherever you may go, no matter where you are
I never will be far away
Goodnight my angel, now it’s time to sleep
And still so many things I want to say
Remember all the songs you sang for me
When we went sailing on an emerald bay
And like a boat out on the ocean
I’m rocking you to sleep
The water’s dark and deep, inside this ancient heart
You’ll always be a part of me
Goodnight my angel, now it’s time to dream
And dream how wonderful your life will be
Someday your child may cry, and if you sing this lullaby
Then in your heart there will always be a part of me
Someday we’ll all be gone
But lullabies go on and on
They never die
That’s how you and I will be

— Billy Joel
