US DOJ Say They Don't Need Warrants For E-Mail, Chats

Posted by Soulskill on from the you-can-trust-us dept.

gannebraemorr writes "The U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI believe they don't need a search warrant to review Americans' e-mails, Facebook chats, Twitter direct messages, and other private files, internal documents reveal. Government documents obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union and provided to CNET show a split over electronic privacy rights within the Obama administration, with Justice Department prosecutors and investigators privately insisting they're not legally required to obtain search warrants for e-mail."

    Please don't shitpost like this.

    Your sarcasm is lost in the text. All it can possibly do is convince people reading it that, somewhere out there, there is actually a horde of people who legitimately believe this.

    If you're trying to make some edgy stance against government infringement of civil liberties, you're being fucking retarded and counterproductive.

    thanks in advance,
    everyone
