A recent piece of legislature in the House of Representatives could have a huge impact on your privacy. On November 13, the House rolled the Cyber Security Enhancement Act (H.R. 3482, CSEA) into the Homeland Security Act (H.R. 5710, HSA). HSA is an enormous piece of legislation that is supposed to shake up many federal agencies and increase domestic security, but it also promises major collateral damage to our privacy. If passed, law enforcements would have the authority to read your email or voicemail with no probable cause! However, the Electronic Frontier Foundation will be putting up a fight. They are encouraging everyone to call their representative and shoot down the bill. Don’t let your privacy rights get swept away by this omnibus legislation; tell your Representative to excise Section 225 of HSA today!
