Do you know about Senator Leahy's E-mail Snooping Bill?

Leahy Bill Rewrite Expands Warrantless E-mail Snooping As Bill Pretends to Protect Citizen E-mail Privacy Because the rapid, massive and unprecedented existing expansion of government surveillance powers over the last decade apparently wasn't significant enough, a new rewrite of a Senate bill will allow additional warrantless surveillance of citizen e-mail. Declan McCullagh over at CNET notes that a bill by Democrat Patrick Leahy that proclaims to be protecting consumer e-mail privacy, actually expands e-mail surveillance powers dramatically: Leahy's rewritten bill would allow more than 22 agencies -- including the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Federal Communications Commission -- to access Americans' e-mail, Google Docs files, Facebook wall posts, and Twitter direct messages without a search warrant. It also would give the FBI and Homeland Security more authority, in some circumstances, to gain full access to Internet accounts without notifying either the owner or a judge. Leahy appears to have buckled under pressure from the National District Attorneys' Association and the National Sheriffs' Association organizations. Ads |
