The constant struggle for balance between security and privacy has just decant one last battle in favor of the first.

A judge in Philadelphia has granted the FBI a warrant that will give them access to a few emails of Gmail from a server located outside USA. This decision, which has already begun to receive criticism, it contradicts a judgment of the Federal Court for a similar case and could put in danger the privacy of the users.

According to the judge, the transfer of emails from a server abroad is not supposed to invade the privacy of the users. “Although the recovery of the electronic data of Google from their multiple data centers abroad has the potential of an invasion of privacy, infringement of real of privacy occurs at the time of its disclosure in the united States,” says the judgment. Google has already announced that it will appeal the decision.
