the complaint, filed Wednesday in federal court in Washington, he argues that the government is violating the Constitution of the United States to prevent Microsoft notify thousands of customers about government requests for emails and other documents.

These actions violate the Fourth Amendment, which establishes the right of individuals and businesses to know whether the Government recorded or seized their property, argues demand, and the First Amendment on freedom of expression.
