Email Privacy Act would require more warrants
align=center>Email Privacy Act would require more warrants by police
A bill reintroduced in the U.S. House of Representatives would require law
enforcement agencies to get a warrant before they poke around users emails and
other communications in the cloud that are older than 180 days.
If the Email Privacy Act becomes law, government agencies will have to obtain
a warrant based on a showing of probable cause to compel service providers to
disclose emails and other electronic communications of Americans, regardless of
the age of the mails or the means of storage. In the original version of the
legislation, the government also had to notify the person whose account is
disclosed, along with a copy of the search warrant and other information, within
a stipulated period.
