Microsoft won’t turn over emails from its Ireland data center, a spokesman said Tuesday by email, despite a federal judge’s late Friday ruling to lift the freeze on the government’s search warrant (http://on.wsj.com/1A28ndE) (case No. 13-mj-02814). The U.S. District Court in New York ruled in July that Microsoft must provide U.S. law enforcement with emails, even though they were stored overseas. Microsoft had in June challenged a federal judge’s order to turn over the customer’s data (http://wapo.st/UFFjLs). Microsoft said it will appeal the decision. “Everyone agrees this case can and will proceed to the appeals court,” a spokesman said. “This is simply about finding the appropriate procedure for that to happen."
