HR 2471: SAY NO TO LEAHY AMENDMENT
STOP HR-2471: The revised Leahy Bill Allows 22 Government agencies Unlimited Online Access to Emails, Facebook wall posts, Twitter messages and Google Docs without a Court order.
Why is this important?
HR 2471 will give Homeland Security, the FBI and 20 other agencies greater powers, granting them full access to Internet accounts without first obtaining a Court Order. The original Leahy bill was legislation that “provides enhanced privacy protections for American consumers by . . . requiring that the government obtain a search warrant.”, amended at the request of Law enforcement.
