Privacy legislation reintroduced for mail older than 180 days
A BILL HAS been reintroduced in the U.S. House of Representatives that would require that law enforcement agencies get a warrant before they poke around users’ emails and other communications in the cloud that are older than 180 days.
The Email Privacy Act, reintroduced recently, aims to fix a loophole () in the Electronic Communications Privacy Act that allows the government to search without warrant email and other electronic communications older than 180 days, stored on servers of third-party service providers such as Google and Yahoo.
