from the privacy?-what's-that? dept
Pro Publica has done it again. They've put together a great report on
how the government can usually get your digital data
without bothering to get a warrant. On top of that, they line it up
with what the law actually says about the subject. Here are just a
couple examples, but check out the whole thing:
Beyond phone records and location data, they explain how law enforcement
can get IP addresses, emails, email drafts (treated differently than
emails), text messages, general cloud data and social media information.
And... the shorthand version is that the government can pretty much
look at an awful lot of your data with very little judicial oversight.
