Reform ECPA: Tell the Government to Get a Warrant

Americans are deeply concerned about NSA surveillance.

But the NSA’s not the only problem. An outdated law says the IRS and
hundreds of other agencies can read our communications without a warrant.

That law, known as the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), was
written over 25 years ago, before the services we use today even existed.

Right now, several bills in Congress would fix this by updating ECPA to
require a warrant, but regulatory bodies are blocking reform in order to
gain new powers of warrantless access.

We call on the Obama Administration to support ECPA reform and to reject
any special rules that would force online service providers to disclose our
email without a warrant.
