Warrantless Electronic Communications FOIA Requests
February 16, 2012
The ACLU has filed Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to learn more about the government’s practice of reading people’s email, text messages, social networking feeds and other private electronic communications without a warrant.
Our requests, filed with the FBI, Justice Department, IRS, and U.S. Attorneys Offices around the country, seek to uncover more about the government’s policies, procedures and practices for accessing the content of private electronic communications.
