Wired - Obama OKs Netflix-to-Facebook Sharing as E-Mail Privacy Reform Falters
Wired.com reports: "Left in the dust were reforms to the 1986 Electronic Communications Privacy Act. The reform package, introduced by Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont), would have nullified a provision that allows the government to acquire a suspect’s e-mail or other stored content from an internet service provider without showing probable cause that a crime was committed. Currently, the government can obtain e-mail or other cloud documents without a warrant as long as the content has been stored on a third-party server for 180 days or more."
