eBay's Lobbying Efforts May Include the CIA

samuraiknight writes "The Washington Post reports that eBay was among eight entities that lobbied the CIA during the first six months of 2007, according to disclosure forms maintained by the Senate public records office. An eBay spokesman claims its listing was an error, but also notes that the company met with CIA officials in the second half of 2006 to discuss the amendments to the 1994 Communications and Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), which include a requirement that VoIP companies submit to government wiretaps. The article suggests that eBay and the CIA discussed the law's potential effects on Skype (owned by eBay), but does not elaborate further."
