The Stored Communication Act was established before cloud computing technology existed. The CLOUD Act allows communication companies to provide stored data for subscribers of the communication service in response to which the following?
  1. Civil subpoenas
  2. Warrant
  3. Written request by a government official
  4. Both A and B
Explanation
Answer: B - The Cloud Act allows communication companies to provide stored data for subscribers of the communication service in response to a warrant. Courts or communication companies may challenge the disclosure of this type of cloud-stored data if the warrant can reasonably be expected to violate the privacy rights of the country in which the data is stored.
 
 The release of stored communications, whether stored on a server or in the cloud, in response to a civil subpoena without the consent of the subscriber, constitutes a violation of the Stored Communication Act.
