Microsoft's response

The reporting about Microsoft’s position on this issue is inaccurate. Microsoft has not commented on draft legislation in the Russian State Duma or committed to share customer data with the Russian authorities. We have clear principles in responding to legal demands for customer information from governments around the world. In particular we review the applicability of any new local laws given that many of our internet services don’t store or process data locally.
