Government Surveillance, Privacy & Data
Now Is the Time for Congress to Strengthen Email Privacy Laws
Roll Call:
This week, the Senate Judiciary Committee will meet to consider legislation introduced by Sens. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Patrick J. Leahy, D-Vt., to fix a law that time and technology have made incompatible with its original purpose.
The effort to strengthen privacy protections online has the support of hundreds of Senators and Representatives, and is backed by the broadest political coalition imaginable. Republicans and Democrats and independents, liberals, moderates and conservatives, libertarians, free market advocates and social justice activists, small and big business and labor, have all come together to support the necessary and long overdue reform of government practices that threaten the privacy of every American who uses the Internet.
