US Wants More Police Access to Email According to a report published Thursday by the Washington Post,www.rolexreplica5u.com a White House proposal would give federal investigators easier access to email records without a court order. Citing anonymous government officials as sources, the report says the administration wants to add the words communication transactional records to the list of items the FBI can legally request without first acquiring a judge order. That description, according to the government lawyers cited in the article, includes the addresses to which emails are sent, the times and dates emails were sent and received, and potentially a user web browser history. The Post quotes an anonymous official who says most Internet and e-mail providers currently refuse requests for electronic records on the grounds that surveillance law, as it stands, does not require them to turn over such records. Another criticism of the proposed change, levied by privacy advocates, including a representative from the Electronic Frontier Foundation, quoted by the Post, is that the phrase communication transactional records is not clearly defined anywhere in the statute and is vague enough to be interpreted to include a user full browsing history, as well as a record of every file downloaded. For service providers, dealing with government requests for information is a tricky part of the business, with the requests themselves, and the service provider response, often providing fodder for controversy and criticism. The web hosting provider BurstNet had to resolve a customer issue in unusually public fashion last week, when its decision to disconnect a customer running a free blog hosting service after receiving notice that links to terrorist information, including bomb-making instructions and a hit list, were being hosted on the site became the subject of a free-speech conversation online. A complaint sometimes made by Internet service providers is that government legislation around the request or seizure of information from service providers does not take into account the cost to the service providers of retrieving or supplying that information.
