The biggest names in cloud computing have agreed a new set of guidelines which they hope will reassure customers that data stored in the cloud is safe, secure and protected from government interception. The launch of the Trusted Cloud Principles follows reports that Amazon plans to take a more proactive stance on policing the content it allows on its AWS platform, which the cloud market leader denied. But privacy campaigners have warned that increasing levels of censorship from AWS and its rivals could lead to innocent businesses getting caught in the crossfire.

Nine tech companies including AWS, Amazon’s cloud division, Microsoft and Google have signed up to the Trusted Cloud Principles. The signatories are calling on governments to work with them to build transparent processes around how authorities can request data, and what happens if a request is denied. They are also seeking commitments from ministers to facilitate cross-border data flows in a secure manner.
