Privacy advocate Caspar Bowden has joined Microsoft as its senior privacy and security officer for Europe, Middle East and Africa.
Bowden came to prominence during the debate on the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, and directed the Foundation for Information Policy Research, a internet policy think-tank which fought to limit the power of laws governing surveillance and the interception of internet communications.

The Foundation, which was backed by a grant from Microsoft, announced on its website that Bowden was leaving.
Bowden was unavailable for comment this week, a Microsoft spokesman said.
He is almost certainly going to be kept busy after the European Union announced yesterday that it is extending an investigation into Microsoft's Passport software.
