Microsoft has defended claims that detailed deep co-operation with the US government, including the circumvention of encryption in its Outlook.com email and access to its SkyDrive cloud storage service and Skype.

A statement issued by Microsoft denied it had provided blanket access of its products to NSA surveillance teams, and reiterated that it only responds to valid requests. "We have clear principles, which guide the response across our entire company to government demands for customer information for both law enforcement and national security issues," the statement said.
