While a bill to amend ECPA is before the Congress of the United States (S. 607) as we speak, he is far from finished. To get it passed, everyone who cares about keeping private electronic communications needs to make their voices heard. But the issue is bigger than that, and much needs to be done other invasions of privacy by the United States and other governments continue to make the news.
Continuing threat to the amendment ECPA
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is looking for an exception to the law on the reform of the ECPA that weakens legislation seriously. The SEC is seeking access to electronic data of all citizens without a court order. The application of the SEC has an impact on the progress of the bill and there is not date set for a Senate vote on S. 607.
More than the 4th Amendment
while most of the focus on privacy was on the 4th amendment to the United States Constitution, others are equally relevant, especially to other parts of the Bill of rights. The Constitution protects against government seizure of property without due process and compensation. Electronic communications are data; your data is your property. Therefore, data entry without due process and compensation is unconstitutional. What the National Security Agency (NSA) has been violating our constitution; SEC proposes that all civilian agencies should also be able to violate our constitutional rights.
The world is watching
Around the world people wonder where their data is stored. The United States is considered a dangerous place for data. With the growth of cloud computing in the balance, the United States must provide assurance that the data in the world can be safely and securely stored within its borders. continuous gaps in protection of privacy will severely limit the role of the United States on the world market of cloud computing.

Despite recent reports that the government has found a way to intercept encryption technologies and decrypt them, we do not believe they can do with VyprVPN. If you store your content with us, you can also go further and encrypt your content stored so that neither we nor the government can read it.
We have, and will, do everything possible to ensure that the Internet remains open and free and no government - if the United States or any other - can steal your private information. Internet users around the world are facing threats of censorship and privacy. VyprVPN and our other Golden Frog products are designed to counteract these threats to freedom, privacy and freedom of expression worldwide.
