蘋果：保留讀取iCloud電子郵件的權利
|
????微軟（Microsoft）并不是惟一一家保留進入用戶電子郵箱的權利的公司?！缎l報》（The Guardian）的亞歷克斯?埃爾恩稱，谷歌（Google）和雅虎（Yahoo）也都這么干。我們大多數人看也不看就點了“同意”，但埃爾恩跟我們不一樣，他真的看了上述公司的用戶協議。 ????這個問題于上周曝光。當時，出生于俄羅斯、居住在黎巴嫩的前微軟員工亞歷克斯?基布卡羅因為被指控出售大塊Windows 8源代碼被捕。 ????微軟在西雅圖聯邦法院起訴基布卡羅，起訴材料中包括基布卡羅與法國一位博客用戶的Hotmail通信。上周五公布的一份聲明顯示，微軟未經法院允許，就查看了這些電子郵件的內容。 ????因為好奇其他網頁郵件提供商是否也保留了查看其用戶電子郵箱的權利，《衛報》的埃爾恩干了件少有人做的事：他真的讀了郵件供應商允許用戶通過點擊“同意”按鈕跳過的法律樣板文件。 ????蘋果icloud用戶協議的相關部分如下： ????您認可并同意，蘋果可在其認為必要或適當的情況下，獲取、使用、保存和/或向執法機關、政府官員和/或第三方披露您的帳戶信息和內容而無需對您負責，只要是按照法律規定，或者我們有很好的理由相信此獲取、使用、披露或保存行為是1）符合法律程序或要求；2）履行本協議，包括調查任何潛在違規；3）檢測、預防或解決安全、欺詐或技術問題；或4）按法律規定和要求保護蘋果、蘋果用戶以及第三方權利、財產或安全所必要的。（財富中文網） ????譯者：項航 |
????Microsoft (MSFT) is not the only company that reserves the right to break into its customers' e-mail accounts. According to The Guardian's Alex Hern -- who actually read the user agreements that most of us blindly accept -- Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOG) and Yahoo (YHOO) do as well. ????The issue came to light last week when Alex Kibkalo, a Russian-born former Microsoft employee living in Lebanon, was arrested on charges that he was selling off chunks of Windows 8 source code. ????The complaint filed against him in a Seattle federal court included Hotmail exchanges between Kibkalo and a French blogger -- e-mail that Microsoft read, according to a statement released Friday, without a specific ????court order. ????Curious whether other webmail providers reserve the right to poke around their customers' e-mail accounts, The Guardian's Hern did what few people do: He actually read the legal boilerplate the providers allow you to skip past by clicking the "Agree" button. ????This is the relevant portion of Apple's iCloud agreement: ????You acknowledge and agree that Apple may, without liability to you, access, use, preserve and/or disclose your Account information and Content to law enforcement authorities, government officials, and/or a third party, as Apple believes is reasonably necessary or appropriate, if legally required to do so or if we have a good faith belief that such access, use, disclosure, or preservation is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legal process or request; (b) enforce this Agreement, including investigation of any potential violation thereof; (c) detect, prevent or otherwise address security, fraud or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property or safety of Apple, its users, a third party, or the public as required or permitted by law. |
