The United States government is overusing its secret subpoena power to routinely gather vast amounts of data on American internet users, a senior Microsoft executive said in prepared testimony to Congress released on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph-1\" class=\"Text__text___3eVx1j Text__dark-grey___AS2I_p Text__regular___Bh17t- Text__large___1i0u1F Body__base___25kqPt Body__large_body___3g04wK ArticleBody__element___3UrnEs\">In remarks for a U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee hearing, the executive said that in the last five years Microsoft <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/companies\/MSFT.O\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"Text__text___3eVx1j Text__dark-grey___AS2I_p Text__medium___1ocDap Text__large___1i0u1F Link__underline_default___MkI7S8\" rel=\"noopener\">(MSFT.O)<\/a> had received 2,400 to 3,500 secrecy orders a year and that U.S. courts provided little by way of meaningful oversight.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph-2\" class=\"Text__text___3eVx1j Text__dark-grey___AS2I_p Text__regular___Bh17t- Text__large___1i0u1F Body__base___25kqPt Body__large_body___3g04wK ArticleBody__element___3UrnEs\">Tom Burt, a vice president for customer security and trust, said that American law enforcement was ordering Microsoft to stay quiet about between one third to one quarter of the requests for data that it received, &#8220;developing a practice of reflexively asking to keep even routine investigations secret.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph-3\" class=\"Text__text___3eVx1j Text__dark-grey___AS2I_p Text__regular___Bh17t- Text__large___1i0u1F Body__base___25kqPt Body__large_body___3g04wK ArticleBody__element___3UrnEs\">&#8220;Providers, like Microsoft, regularly receive boilerplate secrecy orders unsupported by any meaningful legal or factual analysis,&#8221;

emails, text messages, and other sensitive data stored in the cloud.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph-7\" class=\"Text__text___3eVx1j Text__dark-grey___AS2I_p Text__regular___Bh17t- Text__large___1i0u1F Body__base___25kqPt Body__large_body___3g04wK ArticleBody__element___3UrnEs\">Burt called for ending indefinite secrecy orders, boosting transparency around their use, forcing the government to notify targets of such orders once their time was up, and raising the bar on such orders to prevent what he described as the current &#8220;rubberstamping process.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Text__text___3eVx1j Text__dark-grey___AS2I_p Text__regular___Bh17t- Text__default___1Xh7Yh SignOff__text___2onKdN\">Reporting by Raphael Satter;
