Why is no one talking about the CLOUD Act that came out last night?
I'm confused. When I read these pieces, the CLOUD Act seems like a huge deal, but it's no where on Hacker News. Can anyone share a TL;DR -- how concerned should I be?

Wow, as much as I dislike clickbait titles, that's an anti-clickbait title! No wonder I missed it the first time.
Well, it has Cloud Act in it, so you could find it before asking here.
Because they trojan horse'd it in with the Facebook scandal.
