FCC Extends Wiretap Rules To Broadband Internet Services.. FCC Extends Wiretap Rules To Broadband Internet Services.
The Federal Communications Commission ruled August 5 that broadband
Internet access and “interconnected VoIP” services must be designed to
make government wiretapping easier, under the terms of the 1994
Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA). CDT believes
the decision exceeds the terms of the statute. The ruling imposes undue
burdens on innovation and threatens the privacy of Internet users. CDT
is considering a court challenge. [Center for Democracy and Technology] [Privacy Digest: Privacy News (Civil Rights, Encryption, Free Speech, Cryptography)]
