The Constitution Project's Panel on Privacy, Technology, and the ECPA

The law governing the privacy of your electronic communications, the ECPA, is a dusty relic. It was written before anyone had the internet at home, before cell phones fit in pockets, before the "cloud." It doesn't require the government to acquire a warrant before accessing your email or tracking your cell phone's location. Watch this panel discussion to learn about how technology has outpaced the law--and how your Congressional representatives can catch up. Panelists from left to right: William H. Taft, James Robertson, Sharon Bradford Franklin, Bob Barr, Gregory Nojeim.
