Technology companies and civil liberties and privacy advocates...

Technology companies and civil liberties and privacy advocates sent yet another letter to Congress, pressing legislators to bring two email privacy bills to the floor (S-607, HR-1852) (http://bit.ly/XprPEe). The letter -- with signers ranging from Adobe to search engine DuckDuckGo to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce -- is the most recent letter urging congressional leaders to allow a vote on the bills, which would update the Electronic Communications Privacy Act to require a warrant for law enforcement to access remotely stored data. “They would pass overwhelmingly, proving to Americans and the rest of the world that the U.S. legal system values privacy in the digital age,” the letter said.
