Congress, at Last Minute, Drops Requirement to Obtain Warrant to Monitor Email
http://j.mp/12NHj2Q (Allgov)
"Last month, the Senate Judiciary Committee approved an amendment
attached to the Video Privacy Protection Act Amendments Act (which
deals with publishing users' Netflix information on Facebook pages)
that would have required federal law enforcement to obtain a warrant
before monitoring email or other data stored remotely (i.e., the
cloud). The Senate was set to approve the video privacy bill along
with the email amendment, which would have applied to a different law,
the 1986 Electronic Communications Privacy Act. But then senators
decided for reasons unknown to drop the amendment."
