New federal wiretapping rules forcing Internet service providers and universities to rewire their networks for FBI surveillance of e-mail and Web browsing are being challenged in court.
Telecommunications firms, nonprofit organizations and educators are asking the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., to overturn the controversial rules, which dramatically extend the sweep of an 11-year-old surveillance law designed to guarantee police the ability to eavesdrop on telephone calls.
The regulations represent the culmination of years of lobbying by the FBI, the Justice Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration, which have argued that "criminals, terrorists and spies" could cloak their Internet communications with impunity unless police received broad new surveillance powers. The final rules, published this month by the Federal Communications Commission, apply to "any type of broadband Internet access service" and many Internet phone services.
Has http://www.pgp.com/" (Pretty Good Privacy) Ever supplied the FBI with a master key to crack their encryption?Manchot said:I'm sorry, but what the FBI wants is just stupid. Any determined criminal, terrorist, or spy could easily encrypt a message with a one-time pad. It's the average person who would suffer. Once again, we see an example of law enforcement trying to extend its reach over civilians.
The purpose of the FBI's efforts to enhance public safety is to prevent and combat crime, terrorism, and threats to national security in order to protect the American people and uphold the rule of law.
The FBI enhances public safety through a variety of methods, including conducting investigations, gathering intelligence, providing training and resources to law enforcement agencies, and collaborating with other government agencies and international partners.
The FBI focuses on a wide range of crimes and threats, including cybercrime, white-collar crime, organized crime, violent crime, and domestic and international terrorism. They also work to prevent and address civil rights violations and public corruption.
The public plays a crucial role in the FBI's efforts to enhance public safety. They can report suspicious activities or provide information that may assist in investigations. The FBI also provides resources and tips to help the public stay safe and prevent crime.
The FBI works closely with other federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, as well as international partners, to share information, coordinate efforts, and address threats to public safety. They also collaborate with private sector organizations and community groups to prevent and address crime and protect the public.
