Issues
We will talk about several issues this week, to communicate to members of Congress as encompassing mass surveillance of the federal government through seizures and searches of digital information to all citizens without warrant must end. Furthermore, we show that widespread electronic surveillance, interception and other seizures of electronic information infringe on liberty and individual property and violating the Constitution.
Update ECPA
ECPA or the Act on the protection of electronic communications, will be marked by the Judicial Committee of the House on April 13. ECPA sets rules when police and government can read our e-mail, look at our photos and access other content stored in the cloud.
- The Committee should adopt the bill without significant changes, such as Golden Frog oppose changes that threaten the integrity of the bill.
- the law passed in 1986 does not take account of current technologies or how citizens use digital information (property).
- Currently, the information is accessible only with a subpoena, which opens the door to spying and goes too far on constitutional freedoms.
Principles of cybersecurity and privacy
- government should tend to its own information security before attempting to regulate how companies do.
- the government should follow due process and legal standards for mandated disclosure of business information.
- the government should limit the amount of sensitive information it collects, preserves and shares and how long it is kept.
- effective cybersecurity measures require strong encryption, which should be deployed ubiquitously. The government should encourage the development of encryption technology and to resist policies that compromise the strong encryption.
protect US citizens and small businesses the ability to use encryption services
- Congress should pass a law protecting the right to encrypt digital information in storage and transit.
- secure encryption should be available for small businesses and individuals.
- Encryption is not a national threat to security and should not pull the suspicions of the FBI, NSA and other authorities.
- Encryption is a form of self-defense, and using encryption to protect data how his digital self is protected and the digital home.
backdoors Ban decreed by the government in mobile phones and computers
- Congress should pass a law that prohibits government mandates to build backdoors or vulnerabilities in devices Americans / software.
- The information we generate and store is our property and we have a reasonable expectation of privacy.
- Any government agency that asks Congress a bill allowing backdoors is misleading legislators. Cryptography experts will tell you there is no such thing as a secure backdoor.
Go to Address Communications Content Collection by amending Article 702 and replacing Decree 12333 with legislative controls by Congress-past
- FISA section 702 and Executive order 12333 shall be revised to better protect the privacy and eliminate mass surveillance and collection of information.
- Congress should limit the collection of content by weight and better control and limit access to this information. They should also limit the use and sharing between non-national security agencies, and impose a deadline for the destruction of information.
- U.S. intelligence agencies have operated without effective supervision for too long.
- The interception wholesale and storage of user content that occurs without a warrant or probable cause of demonstration should end.
